McPrice Myers L'Ange Rouge Grenache 2021

94 Points  L'Ange Rouge is a fantastic new red blend from McPrice Myers, a boutique producer at the forefront of the Central Coast winemaking scene - only a few hundred cases were produced so try it while its still available! 94 Points Vinous: "The 2021 L'Ange Rouge is dreamy with a spicy blend of ripe blueberries complemented by sweet smoke and chalk dust. This is soothingly round and supple with tart raspberry and liquid inner florals complemented by stony minerality. The 2021 cleans up beautifully, with tart blackberry and black cherry mingling as residual acids. Gentle tannins underscore licorice hints. L'Ange Rouge is a blend of 64% Grenache, 24% Syrah and 12% Mourvedre." From the winery: "The components of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre were fermented in small open-top bins and concrete tanks, with 70% whole clusters included. The wine spent 20-45 days on the skins with a combination of pump-overs and punch downs. Aged 10 months; Grenache in neutral 500-liter puncheons, Syrah and Mourvedre in neutral 265-liter barriques. L’Ange Rouge, meaning “The Red Angel,” is dedicated to Mac’s grandmother who fittingly had a full head of red hair. This blend is meant to showcase the femininity of Grenache. Alta Mesa Grenache is blended with Grenache from Larner Vineyard showcasing the depth of this varietal. Mourvèdre from Alta Mesa provides the balance.
