2007 was a great year for Grenache. It was very low yielding as the vines were stunted by frost early on. The canopies were about half their normal size and yields about the same. Because 07 was a cool, slow ripening year, the Christine's has retained the spice and acidity of the 2006, with more fruit weight due to the lower yields. It's incredibly pure and takes me back to my first Grenache of 1997.
