2017 River Rock Grenache

ACCLAIM

"The 2017 Grenache River Rock Vineyard (85% Grenache, 12% Syrah, and 3% Pinot Noir) comes all from the estate vineyard in the Rocks region of Walla Walla and was brought up in concrete tanks. It offers a pretty, ethereal style that carries lots of kirsch and strawberry fruits as well as notes of leafy herbs, pepper, and dried earth. It's certainly not a blockbuster and has an almost Pinot Noir-like vibe, yet it's a wine that carries power with no sensation of weight or heaviness. It's going to evolve for 7-8 years."

THE STORY

The wine formerly known as “Concrete Mama Grenache,” has been renamed “River Rock Grenache” to give this amazing wine all the attention and individualism it deserves. The Grenache grapes were sourced from the River Rock Vineyard in the Rocks District of Milton Freewater, farmed with great passion by Dana Dibble, a [third generation] grower of fruit there.

We count ourselves at The Walls very lucky to be able to source our grapes from this unique AVA and are driven to do these grapes justice by trying our hardest to produce the best wine we can!
