Because my visit was scheduled for July 6, just two weeks after bottling on June 22, I tasted the 2021 Grenache Distenta III as a precise blend from barrel. It comes mostly from the Eleven Confessions Vineyard (71%) and The Third Twin (23%) with the balance from the Cumulus Vineyard. It is a blend of 79% Grenache, 8.4% Syrah, 7.4% Mourvèdre, 3.2% Petite Sirah, 1.6% Petit Manseng and 0.4% Muscat. The Distenta III was vinified using about 35% whole Grenache clusters, and it matured in 42% new French oak of various sizes for around 23 months. It has a medium to deep ruby color and is incredibly fragrant at this stage. Wild berry jam aromas are accented by tones of wildflower, tar, tangerine and coffee beans. The full-bodied palate is concentrated yet lively, bursting with crunchy, floral fruit and surprisingly energetic acidity. It has detailed, grainy tannins and a long, lifted finish that wears its alcohol well. 1,459 cases and 600 magnums are projected, to be released in the spring of 2024.

Ma visite étant prévue le 6 juillet, soit seulement deux semaines après la mise en bouteille le 22 juin, j'ai dégusté le Grenache Distenta III 2021 en assemblage précis en barrique. Il provient principalement du vignoble Eleven Confessions (71 %) et de The Third Twin (23 %), le reste provenant du vignoble Cumulus. C'est un assemblage de 79% Grenache, 8,4% Syrah, 7,4% Mourvèdre, 3,2% Petite Sirah, 1,6% Petit Manseng et 0,4% Muscat. Le Distenta III a été vinifié à partir d'environ 35 % de grappes de Grenache entières et a été élevé dans 42 % de fûts de chêne français neufs de différentes tailles pendant environ 23 mois. Il a une couleur rubis moyen à profond et est incroyablement parfumé à ce stade. Les arômes de confiture de baies sauvages sont accentués par des tons de fleurs sauvages, de goudron, de mandarine et de grains de café. La bouche corsée, concentrée mais vive, regorge de fruits floraux croquants et d'une acidité étonnamment énergique. Il présente des tanins détaillés et granuleux et une finale longue et relevée qui porte bien son alcool. 1 459 caisses et 600 magnums devraient être commercialisés au printemps 2024.
