2019 JEMROSE GRENACHE, BENNETT VALLEY, SONOMA COUNTY
Jemrose Vineyard lies among rolling hills in the Southeast corner of Sonoma County - Bennett Valley. Here, a patchwork of open grassland and groves of Coast Live Oak give way to carefully manicured vineyard rows. Warm Summer days draw evening fog up from San Pablo Bay in the South. This coastal influence has a moderating effect on daytime temperatures and ensures an extended growing season. This additional hang time adds character and complexity to fruit while softening astringent tannin and acidity - perfect for the Grenache variety which can quickly over-ripen and lead to hot alcohol driven wines.

Notes on the Vintage
We harvested the 2019 vintage on October 16. Two separate vineyard blocks yielded an almost-even split of Alban and Tablas clones, after which the wines underwent an extended, cool co-fermentation. Bright cherry earth tones, and clove are the focus on the palate, giving way to lush fruit with moderate acidity and soft tannins on the finish.
