title: Core Winery 2005 Alta Mesa Vineyard Grenache (Santa Barbara County)
description: Hot, raspingly dry and pretty tannic to boot, this Grenache, from a high mountain vineyard, also is a little funky and barnyardy. There are some concentrated cherry, currant, Tabasco and pepper-spice flavors, but those strong tannins really get in the way.
variety: Grenache
designation: Alta Mesa Vineyard
