Rôtie Cellars
Big G Grenache 2019
One of my bottles from my annual WWC hosting. Part of a Grenache flight (including ‘19 Rotie Cellars “Big G”, ‘19 Saint-Damien Souteyrades Gigondas, ‘18 Andremily Grenache).
Picked this bottle up during a Seattle trip a few years ago at Rotie’s SoDo warehouse tasting room.
Similar in color to the Comando G La Bruja before it (light ruby red) but the aromatics couldn’t be more opposite. This is classical Rocks District with umami, savory, and distinct profile. Not sure how much whole cluster is here, but assuming some. Olive, spiced rhubarb, smoked meat on the nose. Light on the palate but the typical briny/iron/savory notes of the region come out. The Rocks funk fades the longer it’s open allowing a core of red fruit to become more prominent, but this is a savory wine through and through. Not as much depth or complexity as Cayuse’s GOK, but a nice wine if you enjoy the style. Drinking fine now. — 18 days ago

Last of a three-pack.
I’m a little surprised at the average score here, but wonder if it has to do with the aromatics presenting a little cru-Beaujolais like (borderline partial carbonic fermentation type aromatics). Bright, juicy, crunchy Grenache. Light ruby colored in the glass with potpurri, candied raspberries, faint spiced rhubarb on the nose. Crisp, juicy red and black berry fruit with a savory/mineral iron type note toward the finish. It’s light, tangy, crunchy and expressive. I’m sure these age wonderfully but it’s tasty right now. Great pairing with grilled quail! — 18 days ago
