2019 Fingers Crossed, Grenache, Santa Ynez Valley, Bottle (750ml)

JD97 (Fingers Crossed Grenache Two Become One) The 2019 Grenache Two Become One is flat-out gorgeous and shows how Grenache can be both powerful and elegant at the same time. Kirsch, darker berries, sandalwood, and spice notes define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, pure, and elegant on the palate. It doesn't have the density of the 2020, but it’s aromatic, complex, nuanced, and has fabulous length on the finish. The 2019 is 76% Grenache, 13% Mourvèdre, and 11% Syrah that saw 29% stems and 20 months in 56% new French oak.
