Honoro Vera Garnacha
750ml, Reg: $10.99 SALE: $8.99
Intense aromas of ripe red fruits, balsamic sensations and spicy notes lead to fruity, floral flavors. Fresh and easy to drink, this Garnacha produces the pleasant sensation of baked fruit cake on
the palate.
This comeback is happening after the grape fell in popularity when other grape varieties, which were also easier to grow and had more yields, became more popular in the market. However, with the establishment of the International Grenache Day, the wine and the grape are slowly and steadily gaining popularity again. Because of its sweet taste with slightly spicy notes, many people also have Grenache as the first-ever wine in their life.
Also grown in France and Australia it is often blended with Syrah and Mourvedre to create some of the world's most famous wines such as Cotes du Rhones and Chateauneuf-du-Papes.
Shatter Grenache
750ml, $25.99
Shatter naturally thins the vines, leaving smaller clusters of intensely concentrated grapes. That flavorful fruit translates to rich, decadent wine in the glass. Joel Gott was introduced to this extraordinary region by friend and fellow winemaker, Dave Phinney.
Atteca Old Vine Garnacha

Best from 2023 through 2036. 18,300 cases made, 1,500 cases imported”. Wine Spectator - 93 pts.
Perrin RSV C-D-R
750ml, $14.99
Cotes du Rhone, Rhone, France- Produced from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, some of which are flash-heated using the same methods as those at Chateau de Beaucastel, the fruit is rich and jammy with peppery spice, concentration and intensity.
Dom Les Couroulu Vacqueyras 750ml, $26.99
Not far off the old vine cuvée, the 2019 Vacqueyras Cuvée Classique is just slightly fresher and more elegant, with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of black raspberries, garrigue, pepper, and some Southern Rhône street market-like nuances. It’s another Provençal, impeccably made wine from this fabulous estate. Jeb Dunnuck
