2022 Coates The Grenache

Matured in seasoned French oak for a period of 10 months. Deep dark red core with black tinged edges and a vibrant red to dark red hue. Lovely red to dark raspberry, red liquorice and blueberry scents drift from the glass accompanied by hints of violet, fresh herbs, delicate earth and subtle pepper notes. Rich and concentrated yet quite light on its feet, the mid weighted palate is awash with dark raspberry, liquorice, dark cherry and more subtle blueberry fruits. Scorched earth and peppered herb accents ensue. Slightly grainy tannins and lively acidity lend structure. Understated in its power, it concludes very long and peppery.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
