Charles Smith K Vintners The Boy Grenache 2018 750ml

Details

Made from whole-cluster-pressed Grenache that rested for five months on the lees in neutral French oak puncheons, the 2018 The Boy has a vibrant, ruby core and a light hint of garnet at the rim. It displays a soft stemmy character, a vibrant, ripe red fruit essence and elements of dried orange peel and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is balanced on the palate with elements of baked earth, dusty rose petals and red cherry skin with hints of maple and white peppercorn. The Grenache concludes with a delightfully lingering finish and should continue to deliver pleasure throughout this decade. Just under 10,000 bottles were made.
