Keplinger Wines

A deeply colored Grenache, the 2017 Grenache Basilisk has impressive notes of ripe blue fruits, ground herbs, lavender, and cracked pepper. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated yet elegant effort that has ripe, polished tannins, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, and a great finish. There aren’t many Grenaches from the Russian River, but this is unquestionably one of the best. Drink it over the coming decade.
