Gusher Grenache
2023 Edna Valley
You’ll be thankin’ the Lord above that your cup runneth over with these heavenly flavors.
TASTING NOTES
Sourced from the cooler region of Edna Valley, California, this wine evokes layers of black cherries, blackberries, and cherry cola with subtle earthy undertones. The acidity is guided with a texture that is slightly grippy with tannins that are present but not overwhelming. As the wine opens up, there’s nuances of brown sugar and shortbread cookies that adds a layer of warmth derived from the oak profile.
ABOUT EDNA VALLEY
Edna Valley, a small appellation nestled within the larger Paso Robles AVA in California’s Central Coast, enjoys a unique terroir ideally suited for cool-climate varietals. The magic of Edna Valley lies in its rare east-west valley orientation, which creates a direct path for cool Pacific Ocean air and fog to flow inland. This maritime influence, combined with ancient volcanic and marine sedimentary soils, gives wines from this region their distinctive character.
FOOD PAIRING
This California Grenache shines with roasted pork tenderloin, where the sweetness of the meat matches the fruitiness. Mediterranean dishes bring out its herbal side, and spicy sausage pizza can match the wine’s subtle kick.
