Because my visit was scheduled for July 6, just two weeks after bottling on June 22, I tasted the 2021 Grenache Distenta III as a precise blend from barrel. It comes mostly from the Eleven Confessions Vineyard (71%) and The Third Twin (23%) with the balance from the Cumulus Vineyard. It is a blend of 79% Grenache, 8.4% Syrah, 7.4% Mourvèdre, 3.2% Petite Sirah, 1.6% Petit Manseng and 0.4% Muscat. The Distenta III was vinified using about 35% whole Grenache clusters, and it matured in 42% new French oak of various sizes for around 23 months. It has a medium to deep ruby ​​color and is incredibly fragrant at this stage. Wild berry jam aromas are accented by tones of wildflower, tar, tangerine and coffee beans. The full-bodied palate is concentrated yet lively, bursting with crunchy, floral fruit and surprisingly energetic acidity. It has detailed, grainy tannins and a long, lifted finish that wears its alcohol well. 1,459 cases and 600 magnums are projected, to be released in the spring of 2024.

About this wine

Central Coast

The Central Coast wine region refers to the large, varied area of ​​California, USA, that stretches along the Pacific coast from Santa Barbara County to San Fransisco Bay. The region is known for its diversity of microclimates, soil types and wine production from a wide range of grape varieties, for example Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Zinfandel. In addition, the Central Coast is a pioneering area for sustainable and organic wine production, as many wine producers have adopted eco-friendly practices to preserve soil health and minimize environmental impact.
