because my visit was scheduled for july 6, just two weeks after bottling on june 22, i tasted the 2021 grenache distenta iii as a precise blend from barrel. it comes mostly from the eleven confessions vineyard (71%) and the third twin (23%) with the balance from the cumulus vineyard. it is a blend of 79% grenache, 8.4% syrah, 7.4% mourvèdre, 3.2% petite sirah, 1.6% petit manseng and 0.4% muscat. the distenta iii was vinified using about 35% whole grenache clusters, and it matured in 42% new french oak of various sizes for around 23 months. it has a medium to deep ruby color and is incredibly fragrant at this stage. wild berry jam aromas are accented by tones of wildflower, tar, tangerine and coffee beans. the full-bodied palate is concentrated yet lively, bursting with crunchy, floral fruit and surprisingly energetic acidity. it has detailed, grainy tannins and a long, lifted finish that wears its alcohol well. 1,459 cases and 600 magnums are projected, to be released in the spring of 2024.
