UBUNTU (Grenache) 2020
UBUNTU is a South African term that means "a quality that includes the essential human virtues, compassion, and humanity."
What is more essential to life than sharing it with others through compassion and humanity? Why not begin by sharing this bottle with friends and family?
UBUNTU is 100% Grenache sourced from the Sugarloaf vineyard within Washington's Rattlesnake Hills AVA.
Pairs well with grilled, stewed, and braised meats like beef, veal, pork, chicken and game. Holds up well to hearty dishes like cassoulet. Try with less spicy Asian dishes, Palella, and tapas.,

Sean P. Sullivan's Northwest Wine Report - 90 points
Aromas of red hard candy, gummy, and herb lead to medium-bodied, lightly creamy-feeling red fruit flavors. It’s a very pretty offering of the variety with undeniable appeal.
Washington Wine Report - 92 points
Coming from the Sugarloaf Vineyard, the 100% Grenache Ubuntu presents a light ruby and cranberry core with a golden rim in the glass. Resting for 22 months in neutral French oak, it gifts notes of fresh cranberry, rhubarb, lemony herbs, and sea breeze. Bitter herbs and red raspberry on the finish, it finishes smooth and spicy.
