2017 Idle Cellars Grenache, Kick Ranch Vineyard, Sonoma County

Why We Love This Wine: “Wrapped in silk pajamas on the fin of a gnarwhal as the glow of the midnight sun radiates the essence of your being.” Idle cellars website. Honestly, we couldn’t pass this wine up with a description like this on their website. The brand is playful. The one thing these guys take seriously is their dedication to making great wines in a more approachable fashion.   Sommelier Tasting Notes: Herbal notes combined with fruit forward aromatics echo a sense of cinnamon, raspberries, black cherry, anise, and tobacco. Medium tannins and soft acidity create a balanced medium weight in taste. A lighter color plays with the eyes causing a reminiscence of sexy images from days past.   Producer: Idle Cellars Region: Sonoma Valley, California   Wine Pairing Suggestions: Spicier foods pair well with this exotic beauty.
