Tasting Notes: 2021 Aviatrix Grenache (tasted 6/20/23 by HPB)
Medium ruby in color with exotic aromatic layering rising from the glass. Notes of spicy cranberry, 5-spice, red plums, orange zest, light French oak, and ripe raspberries. Across the palate it is mouthcoating and lively, silky and exciting. Flavorful without being heavy - it has medium body with good balance and length. A delicious and oh-so-loveable expression of Grenache. The lightest red in our lineup, it can be served at room temp or even slightly chilled.
