2019 Rôtie Cellars Grenache "Big G"

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

90 Points

Sunday, April 14, 2024 - Very, very light ruby.

PNP Wet stones and raspberries on the nose. I would 100% put this as a WV Pinot blind.

Dried raspberries, spice, charcoal and medium acidity on the palate. But mostly spice. Dried fruit comes through on the finish to rule out Pinot, but this is lacking for a Grenache.

Edit: an hour of air sees red fruit coming through on this (in a 10-minute span), and a more balanced and approachable wine. Rating raised to 90.

The winery says to drink this soon as it doesn’t age as long as the Little g from the cooler climate Columbia Valley. It’s hard to see the fruit coming through on this, which is the only thing that would improve it.
