Tasting notes
The 2022 Basso Grenache is ferrous and floral, and the palate follows with loads of graphite tannin. This is silty and exotically spiced, with a cavalcade of sumac, pomegranate and paprika dolce. It's a gorgeous wine. The fruit here was handpicked from a dry-grown vineyard in Blewitt Springs, and it is sensational. Tannins are the calling card of Steve Pannell's Grenaches and are undoubtedly what makes the wines great. That and the inherent freshness the wines. Bottled with 30 parts total sulfur, 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The nose is dark-fruited, with aromas of dark cherries, potpourri, violets and cassia bark. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of Damson plums, sarsaparilla, spices and dried herbs. Nicely balanced with a firmly integrated structure. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
