2021 Faethm Fingers Crossed Grenache, California, USA
(97-99 Points) The 2021 Unanswered Prayers Grenache comes from Bien Nacido, Rancho Boa Vista and Sanford & Benedict Vineyards. The composition is 76.5% Grenache with 11.3% Syrah, 5.5% Mourvèdre, 4% Petite Sirah, and a 2.7% splash of the White Wine (Chardonnay, Roussanne, and Marsanne) from this year. It was made with 42% whole clusters and aged 20 months in French oak, 38% new. Opaque purple-black colored, it leaps with bold notes of black cherries, black raspberries, and lilacs with nuances of tar, wild sage, and lavender. The bright, shimmery, full-bodied palate is laden with crunchy black fruits, textured by silky-soft tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long with loads of floral and red berry sparks. This was bottled in July 2023. 438 cases were made. Although this wine was bottled in mid-July, I tasted tank samples drawn before botting to avoid tasting newly bottled wines with bottle shock. Therefore, while the blends and elevage had been completed, these reviews were scored as barrel samples. (LPB) Review Date: 08/2023, The Wine Independent
