Grenache tasting...

Posted by mkuller on April 13, 2017 at 20:00:26:
...6 of us blind tasted 6 grenaches. The one you like best is rated 1pt and the one you like least is 6pts - low pts wins.

6. 2013 Joel Gott (CA) $16 - 28pts - 2 lasts

5. 2011 Baronia del Monsant Flor d'englora (Spain) $13 - 25pts - 2 firsts, 3 lasts

4, 2014 Beckman Estate Santa Ynez Valley $19 - 24pts - 1 last

3. 2011 Shatter (France) $27 - 23 pts

2. 2014 Tres Picos (Spain) $16 - 14pts - 2 firsts (a WS "Best Buy" available at Trader Joe's) ) (my first)

1. 2014 Cypher "Drop Dead Legs" Paso Robles $55 - 13pts - 2 firsts (my second)

All were pretty drinkable - even the #6 which was just not very complex. The wines really changed over time except the first two which started out good and stayed that way. The point spread is interesting - #3 through #6 are close, then the drop to #1 and #2.

The bargain is the Tres Picos - highly recommended.
