2021 Grenache Wine The Language of Yes – WE94 JS93 Rated

Discover the acclaimed 2021 Grenache from The Language of Yes, a radiant expression of California’s Central Coast terroir grown in Santa Maria Valley’s distinctive microclimate. Awarded 94 points by Wine Enthusiast for its opulent aromas of crushed boysenberry, scarlet rose petals, and white peppercorn, this vintage reveals layered complexity with every pour. James Suckling’s 93-point review highlights its captivating crunchiness—think sun-ripened strawberries, crushed river stones, and hibiscus kissed by orange zest.

Winemaker Randall Grahm crafts a sensory journey: behold its vibrant ruby hue signaling exceptional Grenache vitality. The bouquet unfolds with autumnal spices—cloves, star anise, and sandalwood—melding elegantly with red fruit medleys of strawberry-rhubarb and peach. A refreshing menthol lift emerges as the wine breathes, courtesy of partial stem inclusion. On the palate, experience Pinot-like expansiveness: silky tannins frame flavors of baked cherry and herb-dusted toast while maintaining remarkable freshness. This medium-bodied red balances sun-kissed richness with energetic acidity, promising graceful evolution over the next decade.

Perfect for collectors seeking cellar-worthy California Grenache or enthusiasts exploring food-friendly Central Coast wines. Pairs beautifully with herb-crusted lamb or mushroom risotto.
