James Suckling

Reviewed April 2022
Strawberries, cranberries, dried herbs and ground white pepper. Full-bodied with bright acidity and fine, silky tannins. An abundance of peppery spice on the palate. Cool, bright red fruit. Supremely juicy and energetic. Well balanced with excellent intensity and length. Delicacy with freshness. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Review Date: 10/2021
The stunning 2019 Grenache Fiddleneck Vineyard was sourced from a beautiful site where fiddleneck flowers were established before the vines were planted in 2015. The utterly mesmerizing nose features red rose petals, Linzer torte, umami and green olive tapenade, offering an air of aromatic complexity that is impossible to replicate in North America. On the seamless, beautifully textured palate, juicy red fruits collide with shades of white truffle, a dusting of salinity and an exquisite stony character. This is a wine unlike anything else in the world. (OB)

Wine Advocate

Review Date: 10/2022
Planted initially on the pristine soil from a fallow apple orchard that was pulled out in 1993, the stunningly beautiful 2019 Grenache Fiddleneck Vineyard displays a dark ruby core and offers a nose that is both floral and seductive. Aromas of dusty flowers, wild raspberries and savory herbs meld with notions of turned earth and redcurrants. Medium-bodied, the wine is focused, layered and fresh with a brilliantly complex mouthfeel before showcasing precision and finesse with flavors of cherry blossom, strawberry skin and fruit leather with an umami essence. The wine offers a floral focus and sways with the freshness of the New World before compacting slightly, revealing a spicy finish that unwinds and unfurls for moments after the wine has left the palate. It’s a fantastic wine that saw no new oak. (AM)

Review Date: 10/2022
The 2019 Fiddleneck Vineyard Grenache opens to pretty aromas of beautifully ripe red berries that come together with rose petals, spices, peppered beef, wet stones, licorice and herbal nuances all taking shape. This is all about purity and finesse, as it is beautifully textured with gorgeous round silky tannins that glide effortlessly across the palate. The overall focus and precision are simply incredible as beautiful ripe red fruits expand seamlessly through the long finish. While this is absolutely sensational now, it will only become more compelling as it evolves over time. (JD)

Notes

95 points, Eric Guido for Vinous: "Stunning from the first tilt of the glass, the 2019 Grenache Fiddleneck Vineyard comes to life with a blend of peppery florals and wild herbs evolving into dried strawberries and flint stone. This is silky-smooth and perfumed, with a salty flourish of minerality and brisk acidity that adds a more serious character, while tart red fruits and hints of spiced-citrus settle upon the senses. It finishes with vivid wild blueberry and rosy inner florals, gently tugging at the palate with silken tannins. What a beauty, and considering that these vines were only four years old as of 2019, I can only imagine what’s in store as they continue to mature. The Grenache Fiddleneck is fermented with 80% whole clusters and refined all in neutral oak." (10/2022) *Biodynamic*
