2019 Horsepower Vineyards Grenache Fiddleneck Vineyard

From: Walla Walla, WA Varietal: Grenache  99 PointsThe stunning 2019 Fiddleneck Grenache was sourced from a beautiful site where fiddleneck flowers were established before the vines were planted in 2015. The utterly mesmerizing nose features red rose petals, Linzer torte, umami and green olive tapenade, offering an air of aromatic complexity that is impossible to replicate in North America. On the seamless, beautifully textured palate, juicy red fruits collide with shades of white truffle, a dusting of salinity and an exquisite stony character. This is a wine unlike anything else in the world. —Owen Bargreen, vinous.com99 PointsStrawberries, cranberries, dried herbs and ground white pepper. Full-bodied with bright acidity and fine, silky tannins. An abundance of peppery spice on the palate. Cool, bright red fruit. Supremely juicy and energetic. Well balanced with excellent intensity and length. Delicacy with freshness. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. —James Suckling, j
