Penfolds Cellar Reserve Grenache is sourced from low yielding old vines, dry-grown in the ancient soils of the Barossa Valley. It has been a long wait for this wine, the last Cellar Reserve Grenache was made in 2002 (and received 95 points from Wine Advocate; the new 2018 has not been reviewed yet).
A velvet-like plushness fills the palate. Notes of honey roasted beetroot, glazed carrots, spring roasted vegetables … the palate continues to expand! Exotic thyme, mustard seeds and African spices pepper the palate…. Bright cherry vibrancy and cranberry succulence … the most obvious varietal hallmarks. Pithy tannins focus the palate and oak barely mentioned.
