Tasting Notes

WA94

The 2013 The Maven is a top barrel selection (20% whole clusters and 18 months in 30% new French oak) and is a rare 100% Grenache from California that has true richness and depth. Notes of kirsch, dried spices, incense, strawberries and flowers all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, elegant and seamless red that has ultra-fine tannin, impressive mid-palate depth and a great finish. I like it now, but it will age like a Grenache-dominated Chateauneuf du Pape and keep for a decade.
