Red Tasting: Generation 1905 Grenache

 Name: Generation 1905 Grenache 

Varietal: Grenache

Region: Vin de France

Country: France

Year: 2019

Price: $13

Winery Review: Strong aroma of red cherry and cranberry, with a white pepper ascent. Loaded with acidity and gentle tannin, with dashes of vanilla to fulfill the Grenache.

Wine Folly: pg. 117 mentions that Grenache is used to produce rice, along with red wine. With a deep ruby rose red, its varietal is used in Rhome and Chateauneuf-Du-Pape blends. Grenache goes with roasted meats and vegetables.

My Review: With a ruby red color, the aroma represents a cherry with subtle tannins. it tastes similar to the smell from a red cherry and cranberry aftertaste along with tannins of the ruby red. Smooth overall taste, not too acidic or too tannic to overwhelm to cherry fruit flavor from the red wine.
