Mission Codename Pinot? Grenache? Panache!
Today’s 2011 Santa Barbara County Grenache is another delightful wine from our friends at Curtis Winery. This is the third time we’ve featured one of their wines, and each successive gem impresses us more and more.
Delicious through and through, today’s wine is layered with juicy red fruit, black peppercorn spice, and subtle notes of earthy terroir. Our tasting panel remarked how today’s wine’s flavor profile would feel right at home in the glass of a Pinot lover - if they’re willing to feel a bit bold, that is.
Go ahead and give today’s unique wine a chance - we guarantee you won’t regret it.
