2016 Besson Grenache Old Vines Mag
105 year-old dry-farmed, own-rooted Grenache fermented with native yeast, aged in neutral French barrels, bottled unfiltered. 14 cases hand bottled in magnum.

A vivid perfume of spice cake, candied cherries, cranberry and pine bough runs through every vintage – not merely a very pleasing flavor profile, but a signifier that the vineyard indeed has a unique voice. To amplify the voice, we add a small [and growing] percentage of clusters that are picked in small picking boxes and rested for 10ish days in George’s barn.
