2019 "Ora et Labora" Grenache
Bien Nacido Vineyard, 94 POINTS JD
"The 2019 Grenache Ora et Labora Bien Nacido Vineyard isn't far off the Lumiere Larner Vineyard and certainly has a similar level of polish and elegance, although there's more minerality and marine-like influence. Black cherries, peppery herbs, crushed stone, and floral notes all show on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, structured, and concentrated. Where the Larner is up-front and ready to go, this is going to benefit from a year or two of bottle age. It should still be drinking nicely at age 10 as well.”
