2019 Forgeron Cellars Grenache
From the beautiful Boushey Vineyard this is our second vintage of 100% Grenache wine. The Boushey Vineyard has been one of our favorite sites to grow with over the last two decades. Grenache is one of those varietals is exceptional when shown by itself, displaying a full and fresh profile. We have enjoyed the brightness this wine brings to our line-up. Dick Boushey has helped make an extraordinary array of varietals that fit every need.
Our 2019 Boushey Grenache is one for the ages, enticing you with juicy ripe fruit, bright berry notes, and a slight flint profile. The long-lasting finish is full of fresh Bing cherry, white pepper, and dark berry notes that will keep you coming back for more. Enjoy this medium-bodied wine throughout the year as it pairs with every evening. When you need a beautiful representation of Boushey Vineyard as well as Yakima Valley grab this wine off your rack.

93 POINTS, The Tasting Panel Magazine
This is the winery’s second vintage of Grenache – and we are thrilled that they are producing this small-production beauty. A nose of sweet cherry, jasmine, and scented orange peel is beguiling. With bracing acidity, tart cherry, kirsch, and red tea, the wine is off to a sensational start. Floral perfume adds aromatics throughout while dried heather adds texture. Ideal with most dishes.

Quite forward and juicy, the 2019 Grenache Boushey Vineyard reveals pretty guava, cranberry and teaberry tones on the palate, with orange rind and rose water underpinnings. The sense of freshness keeps everything togethr nicely. Best consumed over the next five to seven years.

Aromas of ripe strawberry, raspberry and cranberry. Medium-bodied with silky tannins. Soft and juicy on the palate. Easygoing. Drink now.
