2022 Tenacity Sonoma Valley
Wine Notes Print tech sheet
Tenacity is more than just a name – it's the embodiment of our relentless pursuit to craft extraordinary wines that challenge expectations. This vintage showcases Grenache in its most expressive form, dominating the blend with vibrant fruit, silky texture, and irresistible approachability. Mourvèdre, often a supporting player, brings substantial presence here, contributing depth, structure, and an enchanting savory quality that grounds the wine's exuberance. A whisper of Syrah adds complexity and a touch of mystery. Tenacity rewards the adventurous wine drinker, offering a glimpse into the untapped potential of Rhône varieties in our corner of the world.
