Super, super little red from Languedoc. It’s the rare case when I’m 100% satisfied with a wine.

I think my first Bonny Doon wine. A producer that has been on my “must try” list for ages…

Lovely OZ Grenache: Willunga Clarendon 2015

Image ~ February 5, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ Leave a comment
As far as I can tell Grenache is on the rise down under, at least some bloggers are enthusiastic about the variety. I can see why, when tasting wines like this Willunga The Hundred Clarendon Single Vineyard 2015 release.

Alain Jaume Les Gélinottes Ventoux 2019

I loved the 2016 vintage of this wine, mostly when it was in its primary state, though (2016 Southern Rhone reds quickly went into a dumb phase in my experience, see also here). The 2019 is good, but not on the same level.

2016 Southern Rhones and dumb phase – Clos Saint-Antonin Cotes du Rhone

Image ~ November 16, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ Leave a comment
Yet another wine that makes me believe Southern Rhone reds are prime examples of wines which go through dumb phases. This looks even more closed down compared to my last bottle tasted 17 months ago (see post here).

Kind of OK cheap Spanish from Auchan. When it fails for is the finish… Continue reading →

Savage Thief in the Night 2018

Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Replace the latter with Mourvedre and you get a classic Rhone blend. This has nothing to do with Rhone reds, though.

S. C. Pannell Basso Grenache 2017, McLaren Vale

Image ~ July 3, 2020July 10, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ Leave a comment
It’s been too long since the last Grenache post on this blog… so here you go. This comes from Australia, from a highly regarded artisanal producer and it does not disappoint.
