2001 Alban Vineyards Grenache Alban Estate Vineyard

This elegant yet rustic granache and syrah blend defies again the notion that granache is light and slightly fruity, or the 20% syrah is really higher. The Alban is big and balanced with notes of bacon fat and smoke. There are also notes of dark berries and eucilyptus. The finish is long and the only hint of angularity when the heat of the alcohol is a bit too pronounced. It is a little too young at 5 years.

This bottle is becoming more and more like alsacian wine. It had a great mineral and petroleum distillate nose, with lovely acide balanced against peaches and apriocots.

The wine held a light amber color and lovely nose of toast and hints of tropical fruit. It produced flavors of toasted oak along with good acidity and tropical fruits. Long finish
