Grenache (or Garnacha in Spain) is one of the world’s most widely planted red grape varieties, yet the name is only faintly familiar to the majority of wine drinkers. It is the dominant grape in the famed spicy wines of France’s southern Rhône, with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan filling in the blend. Grenache is much cherished, especially in the handcrafted beauties of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where it achieves its greatest heights. In one of its more affordable incarnations, red Côtes-du-Rhône, Grenache is the quintessential bistro wine.
Grenache thrives in a hot, dry Mediterranean type climate, and Grenache wines are fruity and soft on the palate, almost liqueur-like in texture, with low tannins and acidity. Grenache benefits greatly from blending with a sturdy grape like Syrah or Tempranillo, both of which add tannin and acidity to the soft, fleshy grape. In Australia, these Grenache blends are labeled simply “GSM” (Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvèdre).

WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2020 Crisp blackberry and plum flavors are edged by earthen nuances of bramble and forest floor in this full-bodied blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah. It’s juicy but briskly concentrated, framed by ripe, integrated tannins. Enjoy this mouthfilling but easy-quaffing red while it’s young. (Anna Lee C. Iijima)
JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, July 26, 2019 These old vines make for a very compelling and richly expressed garnacha with dark-berry and plum aromas, as well as rich, earthy notes. The palate has a very succulent, fresh and juicy feel with a very seductive combination of velvety tannins and deep fruit flavors. Super grenache. Amazing value.

RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 1st Jan 2015 The 2012 Costières de Nîmes St Cecile checks in as a blend of 45% Syrah, 45% Mourvèdre and the rest Grenache. Aged all in 33% new 400-Liter French oak barrels, it has a racy feel with its cassis, black raspberry, licorice and wood spice aromas and flavors. It still has some oak to integrated, and on the palate, it has a seamless, lively and fresh style that keeps it easy drinking. The acidity level will be something to watch here, and I’d give bottles another year or so, then plan on drinking them over the following 4–5.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

WS9191 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/19 The members of this coop collectively own 1,750 acres; this wine comes from some of the region’s higher altitude vineyards, at 2,460 feet above sea level. It is impressively fresh, with a crunchy green edge to its spicy black-plum flavor. There’s a beef-broth richness that runs underneath the fruit, giving the wine the substance to pair with hearty foods, like barbecued beef.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2014 Bright ruby-red. Pungent red berries and cherry on the nose, with a mineral quality adding complexity and lift. Energetic cherry and raspberry flavors show very good concentration, with tangy acidity adding cut. Aeration brings up deeper blackberry and licorice notes, which carry through a persistent, youthfully tannic finish. (Josh Raynolds)SP8989 pts. - Wine Spectator - Aug 31, 2014 Fresh and lively, with açaí and raspberry fruit flavors lined with lightly briary tannins and backed by singed vanilla, black tea and anise notes. Drink now through 2019. 60,000 cases made, 12,000 cases imported. (James Molesworth)

VN8787 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2021 Brilliant ruby. Jammy, spice-tinged red fruits on the nose and palate, and a subtle floral nuance in the background. Supple and easygoing, showing some heat on the broad finish, which betrays just a hint of tannins.

JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, February 3, 2022 This is really delicious with berries, cherries, crushed stones, slate and dried rosemary. Subtle and flavorful at the same time. Medium tannins that are polished and pretty. Spices at the end. Grenache, as you may know already. Drink or hold.
