89 Jay Miller - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2006 Grenache was sourced from bush vines planted in 1921 and spent 12 months in seasoned French oak. Medium/dark ruby-colored, it has a superb perfume of pepper, earth, herbs, spice box, and black cherry. Supple-textured, it has a soft blanket of ripe tannin, layers of ripe fruit, excellent depth of flavor, and a long, fruit-filled finish. It will evolve for 4-6 years but can be enjoyed now with Provencal cuisine. Turkey Flat Vineyards has been owned by the Schulz family since 1865. The winery has established a consistent track record over the years and it is a fine portfolio from top to bottom."
