Bitch Grenache 2006
 |
|
BN#208445 |
Strong, empowered, fun, fruity, and a little spicy. This Bitch is 100% Barossa Valley Grenache.
The Wine Advocate: A spectacular bargain, this 100% Grenache (from 40-year-old vines) has nothing bitchy about it. Gorgeous kirsch liqueur intermixed with pepper and soil undertones result in an Australian Grenache that tastes like a Vacqueyras on steroids. Medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, and silky, this is a stunning example of a value-priced Barossa red. The good news is there is 4,000 cases, and the packaging was designed by someone with considerable imagination. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, October 2006.
Wine Advocate
Bitch Grenache is sourced from 40-60 year old vines from the Ebenezer sub-region of the Barossa. With the price of Cotes du Rhone soaring due to the weak dollar, I am hard pressed to think of a better value in full-flavored Grenache. The 2006 Bitch Grenache received no oak treatment. Medium ruby-colored, it presents an alluring bouquet of earth, smoke, rhubarb, cherry, and strawberry. Supple, sweet, and tasty, this wine totally over-delivers for its humble price and is an exceptional value.
Score: 90.
