Trio Vintners 2011 Faraway Vineyard Grenache, Yakima Valley, $26
By Great Northwest Wine on July 13, 2014
Karen LaBonte, who defeated ovarian cancer, continues to win with Grenache from Art denHoed’s site in the Rattlesnake Hills above the Yakima Valley. The pick was made Oct. 1 at 25.8 Brix, and she poured the juice into an oak program of new French and two-year-old Hungarian barrels, which creates dark aromas of black cherry, black pepper and toast. That theme continues with a bold entry and lengthy flavors of dark plum, cherry and dark chocolate. This earned a gold medal at the 2014 Walla Walla Valley Wine Competition.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 265 cases
Alcohol: 14.8%
