2009 McPrice Myers Grenache l'Ange Rouge Santa Barbara County

95pts(WA) I was totally struck by the 2009 Grenache L’Ange Rouge, a wine that captivates all the senses. I hope readers can appreciate just how rare it is to encounter a Central Coast Grenache with this much sheer finesse. The purity of the fruit is simply striking. The 2009 clocks in at 15.8% alcohol, none of which is evident, proving that balance is what counts. There is no shortage of that here. The 2009 is 90% Grenache, 6% Syrah and 4% Mourvedre, fermented with 40% whole clusters and aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, 20% new. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. 

I found a lot to like in these new releases from McPrice Myers. The wines are made from a variety of appellations in the Central Coast.  Antonio Galloni Robert parker's Wine Advocate No 202August 2012
