The 2005 Grenache “High Sands” is dark ruby-colored with aromas of spice box, garrigue, lavender, and black cherry. This leads to a wine with gobs of spicy black cherry and black raspberry fruit, full-body, and excellent balance. There is plenty of silky tannin and a long pure, finish. Give it 3-5 years to evolve and drink it through 2025. Yangarra Estate Vineyards, whose first vintage was in 2000, was purchased by Jess Jackson in 2001. It is located in the Foothills/Blewitt Springs region of McLaren Vale. Grenache and Shiraz are the two principal varieties planted on the estate. The winery uses all wild ferments, 100% French oak, predominantly new for the Shiraz, and 2-3 years old for the Grenache, and the Grenache is all grown on bush vines. Seventy-five percent of the production is sold in the USA.Importer: Kendall-Jackson, Sonoma, CA; tel. (800) 769-3649; www.yangarra.com
