 Tasted by MC BOUS on 1/16/2024: Yummy! (138 views)
 Tasted by McMalbec on 11/29/2021: Tasted at the Los Olivos tasting room. Raspberry/strawberry nose; modest cherry/plumb on the palate; medium finish. This was my first taste of a Stolpman Grenache and it stuck me as a lightly structured style. (942 views)
 Tasted by BHRH on 9/17/2021 & rated 89 points: PnP. Very floral and wild strawberry aromas. Medium-bodied, somewhat fruit-forward red berry palate with good spiciness and a very slight sweetness on the finish, but with decent acid balance. A breezy summer light red, but most tasters felt it would benefit from a short decant, or a year laid down to show best. (986 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 5/26/2021: Light color. Sickening floral and incense aroma. Thin red fruit, little texture. This is awful. (1606 views)
 Tasted by wgmccallum on 4/19/2021 & rated 92 points: Medium ruby. Pronounced aromas of red cherry, roses, a hint of cedar, that dry vanilla note in the bark of a ponderosa pine, coffee. Dark plum and cassis fruit on the palate, medium body, medium tannins, I would have said low alcohol but it masks its 14.5% well. Long finish. (1119 views)
 Tasted by EvanJB on 3/24/2021: 100% Grenache

Disappointing, little fruit, tight, not much body, definitely not one of better vintages (1078 views)

Grenache

Varietal character (Appellation America) - Read more about Grenache

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
