Ochota Barrels Grenache The Fugazi Vineyard Onka Blewitt Ridge 2016

This Grenache presents a translucent, vivid crimson hue in the glass. The nose delivers striking mineral tension alongside concentrated raspberry and boysenberry fruit, layered with incense, licorice root, and penetrating floral notes. The palate offers seamless integration and laser-like precision, offering hedonistic red and blue fruit liqueur characteristics intertwined with floral pastille nuances, all sharpened by a distinctive peppery spice component. The texture impresses with its paradoxical combination of richness and vibrant energy. The finish displays outstanding clarity and persistence, with finely integrated tannins that build gradually rather than announcing themselves upfront, speaking to careful phenolic management and the inherent elegance of the Blewitt Ridge terroir.
