"The 2006 Bush Vine Grenache “Abbot” was sourced from 80-year-old vines and aged in 100% French oak for 16 months. It offers a splendid aromatic array of damp earth, saddle leather, sage, black raspberry, and black cherry. Sweet, ripe, and balanced, the wine is velvety-textured and has a ton of flavor. Cherry and chocolate notes emerge on the palate and lead to a long, fruit-filled finish. Enjoyable now, this hedonistic Grenache will continue to provide pleasure through 2016."
