The 2020 Grenache Distenta II is a dense, powerful wine. A blast of dark cherry, plum, espresso, menthol, licorice and cloves hits the palate. This rich, heady Grenache delivers the goods. In a vintage that was so hard for Grenache, Elaine and Manfred Krankl found the way to craft a memorable wine. All this needs is time. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2023)

3 hour decant(little cloudy sediment). A splendid dark magenta color. On the nose: Intense areomatic notes of dark cherry, ripe strawberry, vanilla, floral, sandalwood, nutmeg. Taste: smooth, velvety, mouthcoating wine with brambly dark cherry/blackberry, iron, smoke, spice, charcoal, and a brambly mocha lingering long finish. YUM!
