2011 Shatter Grenache
2011 SHATTER GRENACHE
SHATTER, DAVE PHINNEY AND JOEL GOTT’S FIRST COLLABORATIVE EFFORT,
COMES FROM THE SMALL TOWN OF MAURY IN THE ROUSSILLON REGION OF
FRANCE. THE HILLSIDE GRENACHE VINES WERE PLANTED OVER 60 YEARS AGO
IN BLACK SCHIST, A SLATE-LIKE, ROCKY SOIL COMMON TO THE AREA. THOUGH
NUTRIENT-POOR, IT RETAINS HEAT WELL, ALLOWING THE SLOW-RIPENING
GRENACHE TO REACH FULL MATURITY THROUGH COOL NIGHTS. TOUGH SOIL,
STRONG WINDS AND HOT DAYS PUSH THE VINES AND CAUSE SHATTER, OR
COULURE, IN THE GRAPE CLUSTERS, NATURALLY THINNING FRUIT FROM THE
VINES AND PRODUCING MORE INTENSELY CONCENTRATED FLAVORS. AFTER
HARVEST, THE FRUIT WAS COLD-SOAKED FOR 30 DAYS TO HELP FURTHER
CONCENTRATE THE WINE, THEN FERMENTED AND AGED IN MAURY.
TASTING NOTES
EXTRACTED AROMAS OF CRUSHED CHERRY AND SPRING RHUBARB PIE ARE
DELICATELY FRAMED BY SEASONED FRENCH OAK. THE ENTRY IS VIBRANT AND
POWERFUL WHICH LEADS TO LUSCIOUS FLAVORS OF WILD STRAWBERRY THAT
PERFECTLY ROUNDS OUT THE MID-PALATE. RIPE BLACKBERRY AND BLUEBERRY
NOTES COALESCE TO FORM AN INTENSE AND LASTING FINISH.
