Dashe "Les Enfants Terribles" Grenache - 2017

Item # 26692 750mL

Dashe's California Grenache is the synthesis of European and American winemaking techniques. Low interference in the cellar and maturation in large barrels, leaves all the pretty minerality and luscious red berries on the nose and palate of this wine. Complex, more to the earthy side and a definite standout.

Staff Pick Notes

Fans of Pinot Noir looking for something different will be delighted by this terroir driven, light bodied Grenache from Dashe Cellars.
