Huntington Estate Grenache 2024

 

It's been a while since the Huntington Estate Grenache came across my tasting bench. The last time was 2021 and a lot has changed since then. The Special Reserve 2023 took out some pretty impressive silverware last year - bravo. Little brother here is still trudging along, though.

This is a ripe and rich Grenache. I suspect if it were picked a bit earlier, it would shine a bit more. Sweet redskin lolly and red frog aromas open the account with potpourri and vivacious dried red petals. But for the engaging introduction, it feels warm to taste, which knocks it back a few pegs. The alcohol protrudes a touch, although the fruit still has enough presence. Fine spices swoop late in the customary Grenache way but I'm not as convinced on this one.
