A TRIBUTE TO GRACE 'HOFER VINEYARD' GRENACHE, CALIFORNIA 2022

SPICE | LEATHER | DRIED FIGS | DRIED HERBS

What the Pros Say: Vinous - 98 Points: "The 2022 Grenache Hofer Vineyard hails from an own-rooted, head-trained vineyard just outside of Los Angeles, planted in 1919. Spice, leather, dried figs, dried herbs and menthol are so evocative. In this vintage, it almost reminds me of a Mission wine. This really is like tasting a wine from another era, one from many decades prior. For some readers, this style will be too eccentric. For those who want to explore California's past, this is absolutely required drinking. It's an unforgettable wine—a time capsule of sorts."
