Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 98
Based on 75% Grenache, 11% Mourvedre, 11% Syrah, and the rest 3% Roussanne, the 2018 Grenache Off The Record saw 45% whole cluster and aging all in barrel. It has a rich, savory, almost Rayas-like bouquet of gamey red and black fruits, ground pepper, toasted spice, spring flowers, and hints of bloody meat. Beautifully textured, full-bodied, and elegant on the palate, with plenty of stem influence, this complex, layered, brilliantly done 2018 is going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 10-15 years. It's a stunning example of Grenache from California! Drink 2022-2039.
