2022 Bhūmi Grenache

Sagemoore Vineyard

The 2022 Grenache from Sagemoore Vineyard presents an enticing profile. The nose opens with vibrant Jolly Rancher candy, burst of ripe red berries, and fresh eucalyptus. On the palate, rich chocolate and brown toast notes are complemented by luscious cherry preserves and accented by sprinkles of white pepper. Subtle hints of red licorice and a touch of dried herbs round out this intriguing and satisfying wine. The finish is smooth and slightly earthy, with a touch of minerality that hints at the vineyard’s unique terroir.

This wine is as lively and cheerful as a summer picnic, perfect for sipping alongside grilled meats, herby Mediterranean dishes, or a simple charcuterie board. This vibrant Grenache pairs beautifully with Indian cuisine, complementing the rich, spiced flavors with its juicy red fruit notes. Its subtle spiciness and smooth tannins harmonize with dishes like chicken tikka masala or lamb curry, enhancing the complex layers of spices while providing a refreshing counterbalance.
