There’s not really a need to go back and relive 2007, is there? Pre-election rhetoric, rising economic trouble, war in the Middle East, rising gas prices, we can all identify with that today. But
today’s grapes lack the seasoning the 2007 grapes have achieved. And that’s why this Tercero Mixed 2007 Grenache 3 Pack is far superior to, say, fresh grape juice.
Oh, come on. You don’t expect 2011 grapes to be ready just yet, do you? They’re still aging in those bins! But these three 2007 wines, they’re ready, and delicious, and full of that Grenache we’re celebrating today. Want the run down? ‘Course ya do!
First there’s the Cuvee Christie, with 64% Grenache. Dark, rich, serious, just like the future we saw in that 2007 summer. With a good cherry fruit core, it might be described as brooding, or perhaps just complex.
Then there’s the Watch Hill, 100% Grenache through and through. Dark chocolate, strawberry, raspberry, cedar and pepper, this wine is spicy yet well structured. Save it for later, if you still believe in tomorrow. Otherwise, it’s perfectly fine to enjoy now, before it’s too late.
And finally, there’s the Camp 4 Grenache. Not as sweet as the previous Camp 4, this wine is still… provocative? And yet, it’s also 100% pure Grenache, full of rich substantive flavors that will make you think about how maybe 2007 was better than, well, now.
You’ve got a lot to live up to, grapes of today. This Tercero Mixed 2007 Grenache 3 Pack has set a high standard.
Aromas of dark chocolate strawberry, raspberry, cedar, and pepper. Gives the impression when tasting of strawberry/raspberry ganache along with a plentitude of spices. Well structured. Enjoyable now but has the stuffing to put aside for a few years as well.
Tercero Wines produces top quality red, white, and rose wines from leading vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County. Our goal is to create wines that are distinct, interesting, good to drink, fun to share with others, and are reasonably priced. We look at things in very simple terms – start with great grapes from great places, take care of the grapes/wines during each and every step of the process, and then bottle each wine under screw cap to ensure minimal bottle variation during its life after bottling. Our company is small – only two of us – and therefore we cherish the relationships we have built up, and will build up, with you – our customers. We appreciate any and add feedback – let us know what you think of our wines, ask us questions about our wines, and tell others about us, too.
