The Chalone 2021 Grenache showcases a light, fire engine red color in the glass. The nose is defined by a strawberry jam character with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove spice; and the palate is led by fruit-forward notes of raspberry and mulberry while still holding on to the savory minerality that is unique to Chalone Vineyard’s terroir. This is a lighter expression of Grenache that is not too bold or broad, with medium-gripped tannins and a pleasant oaky finish.
