elegantly textural and incisive

the perfect cradle for the birth of excellent wines

The supporting acidity seems ripe and thus my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt that this will eventually harmonize

flavors of mocha and cherry come forward to round out a very well balanced wine

80% of the wine was aged for nine months in French oak barrels (27% new oak)

Shatter Grenache 2019 hashval_E0B1DACDD1AD2DBDC068C1020A1189F7302EFB24 elegantly textural and incisivehe Shatter Grenache is a collaboration with Joel Gott and Charles Bieler, Shatter is an obsession with Grenache and terroir. Inky black in color. Flavors and aromas dominated by black current, spice and cured meats with a touch of coffee from low toast barrels. Theres an underlying minerality throughout with the distinct ferrous quality that schist delivers. The palate is pure and powerful, but has structure and a backbone, that holds it all together.
