🏰 The 2017 Pharaohmoans Grenache Paso Robles Westside is a 【brilliant and powerful Grenache, ranking among the finest from this estate】, crafted by the talented winemaker Guillaume Fabre. It boasts a pale to medium ruby-purple color. The highly perfumed nose offers bright, tangy notes of orange, grapefruit, tart cranberries, sour cherries, raspberries, balsamic, loads of floral perfume, and earthy undertones, along with ripe, mineral- and spiced-tinged red fruits and candied flowers. The palate is juicy and precise, displaying bright, spicy lift to concentrated raspberry preserve, bitter cherry, and spicecake flavors that steadily turn sweeter. It finishes with a sexy lavender pastille quality on a strikingly long, sappy finish, framed by velvety, slow-building tannins, promising to cruise for over a decade. 🍴 This expressive Grenache is a fantastic pairing for a Wagyu burger, queso frito, grilled meats, BBQ, Mediterranean cuisine, rich pasta dishes, lamb, poultry, and even spicy food. 🥂 Ideal for a gourmet BBQ, a casual yet sophisticated dinner, or a gathering with friends who appreciate bold, expressive red wines. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Decant for 1-2 hours to allow its complex layers to unfold.
