2006 Qupé GRENACHE "Purisima Vineyard" (Santa Ynez Valley, Cal.)


Showing the herbal side of Grenache, this was a distinctive wine.


Medium dark ruby/garnet color. Scents of rhubarb, raspberry, herbs, and intense powdered stone notes. Lean but intense in the mouth, with herby, minerally raspberry flavors and a very noticeable peppery component. Long, minerally, peppery finish. 87. Was $19.99 on sale at Houston Wine Merchant (on South Shepherd).
