Blockhouse Vineyard 2018 Grenache – Horse & Plow Winery

Producer: Horse & Plow
Region: Napa Valley, California
Varietal: Grenache
Year: 2018

Crafted from hand-harvested Grenache grapes grown in Napa Valley’s renowned Blockhouse Vineyard, this 2018 red wine offers a delightful balance of ripe fruit and nuanced spice that makes it perfect for any occasion. With flavors of cherry and black plum mingling seamlessly with hints of vanilla and wild herbs, this wine delivers a bright, approachable profile that’s equally enjoyable on its own or paired with meals. Its silky texture and smooth finish make it an ideal choice for those seeking a versatile red that pairs effortlessly with everything from charcuterie boards to hearty stews or even lighter fare like roasted vegetables.

The meticulous production process begins with careful destemming and a 7-day cold soak to enhance color and aroma complexity. Each batch is fermented in small open-top tanks—a technique allowing precise temperature control—and hand-punched during maceration to ensure rich extraction of flavors without overpowering tannins. Aged in French oak barrels for depth without excessive woodiness, this wine retains its organic integrity: no fining or filtering means its natural character shines through every sip.

At 14.2% alcohol by volume, it offers boldness without heaviness, making it accessible yet sophisticated enough for casual evenings or special gatherings. Proudly made with organic grapes, this Horse & Plow Grenache reflects a commitment to sustainable winemaking while prioritizing quality and taste.
