Winemaker Tasting Notes:
Earthy spice and hard candied cherries and cream and dark raspberries, cardamom with exotic floral and wood notes. Burst of cherry and raspberry fruit and rose petals on the palate with a hint of grapefruit rinds. Soft grainy tannins make for plush finish. Nice finesse, a bit elegant.
Vineyard Notes:
Grenache is grown with great success in southern France and the northern half of Spain; Grenache is used to produce wines ranging from refreshing rosé through light and fruity reds to powerfully flavored long-lasting wines.
Ying & Yang is a unique blend between west side Paso Robles appellation (Hearthstone Vineyard) and Santa Ynez Valley (Larner Vineyard). Yin Yang is a Buddhist philosophy which embodies the concept that very different parts will unite to form a harmonious and complete union. These two lots of wines were very different in every respect besides the variety. Appellation, soils, orientation, farming practices… but once they came together, oh the medley of complex but pure flavors!
Exotic spice and earth of the Hearthstone with intense and rich fruits of Larner dance their way around in this wonderful union of Grenache. Notes on the musts say ‘great show’.
