Forlorn Hope Songs From Mars Kurocks Grenache 2022
Regular price $34
Matt Rorick is a legend in California, farming his old vine, lesser-sung variety vineyard in a back pocket of wine country. His pal makes wine at Massena in the Barossa Valley and they do a kind of winemaker exchange program each year, hence we have Matt’s take on Australian staples at the ready. And they’re brilliant. This grenache is elegant and yet hugely gulpable, a red fruited, sweet spiced red shaped with lacy tannins and brightened with vibrant, natural acidity. The fruit lingers beautifully in the palate, the wine feels seamless and poised. A class act, au naturale.
