What a beauty this Grenache is! The 2021 Red Rasteau La Ponce strikes a perfect balance, with vibrant stone fruit flavors, a touch of minerality, and a hint of menthol. The palate is refined yet firm, with delicate tannins and impressive depth. This well-balanced wine is built to age gracefully and is best enjoyed slightly chilled, at around 13-14°C. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee. |
