Denner Vineyards The Ditch Digger Grenache Blend 2012
Planted in 1999, Denner Vineyards is a winegrowing estate on the far western border of the Paso Robles AVA. The 156 acres press up against the Santa Lucia Range, giving the site great diversity of elevation, aspect and soil. Previously dry farmed barley, the estate is nestled into the Templeton Gap, an East/West corridor where the marine layer can reach the inland valleys. As a result we receive large diurnal temperature swings without high moisture pressure, giving us a near perfect growing climate. The 2012 Ditch Digger presents with aromas of black raspberry, clove and Szechuan pepper. Ever evolving in the glass, the wine is elegant and graceful.

Superb complexity for Grenache. Not too fat. Not thin. Blended very well and far from uniform. Suttle perceived sweetness, new oak. Well integrated blend. It opened up in the glass very nicely. Fine-grained tannin. Perfect time to drink while the fruit is fresh.

2012 - big peppery nose, red fruit, jalapeño, bell pepper aromas. Medium weight palate with a ton of structure - big framing acids and fine tannin. This should age well. Pop n pour at winery.
