A blend of mainly Grenache from the Armada Vineyard aged for 21 months in neutral French oak.
Armada Vineyard—At 1815 vines per acre, this 7-acre vineyard, created in 2001, was the highest density planting in the Walla Walla Valley until 2008. Notable wines include Armada Vineyard Syrah, God Only Knows Grenache and Edith Grenache Rosé. The vineyard has been cultivated using biodynamic farming methods since 2002.
Vinous Review:
A total showstopper, the 2021 God Only Knows entices with a gorgeous blend of wild herbs, lavender, rose petals, cedar dust and dried strawberries. This is a total pleasure on the palate, silken and round with juicy acidity and crisp wild berry fruits complemented by violet inner florals. Hints of orange peel mix with tart blackberry over a bed of fine tannins as this finishes dramatically long and with a resonance of hard red candies that lingers on—wow. It's amazing that this is from a warmer vintage because the 2021 comes across as remarkably fresh and nearly cool-climate in feel. This is a Pinot lover's Grenache.
