Grenache Small Lot

2006 Livermore Valley Grenache Noir

The Wente Vineyards Grenache Small Lot from the 2006 vintage offers a captivating expression of Grenache Noir that showcases the warm, sun-soaked terroir of Livermore Valley. This medium-bodied red wine presents a delightful profile with bright acidity that invigorates the palate, enhancing its vibrant cherry and raspberry fruit notes. The tannins are soft and approachable, providing a smooth texture that complements the overall structure without overwhelming it. Notably dry, this wine remains incredibly food-friendly, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, from roasted meats to lighter fare. With each sip, the wine reveals a delightful harmony between its lush fruit character and subtle earthiness, leaving a memorable impression.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
