Tasting Notes from Cork’d Members
Beckmen Grenache Purisma Mountain 2005
(11 months ago)A beautiful Californified version of Grenache. Like strawberries and cherries that have marinated in pure vanilla. Some fake Hi-C (using the Gary V vernacular) on the nose. Unlike the Aussie grenache, this one brings a bit more sugar, candied fruit, and is distinctly more oaky. But the balance is fantastic, the mouthfeel is full and luxurious. The amazing alcohol level (15.5%) is completely masked. An excellent effort. Worth putting a couple in the cellar.
