The red wines commence with the 2006 Grenache, sourced from a 70 year old vineyard and aged for 16 months in neutral French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it has an expressive bouquet of kirsch, garrigue, seaweed, and a hint of iodine. It is medium to full-bodied, smooth-textured, and seamless with potential longevity of 8-10 years. It is an excellent value. Slipstream is the negociant label of importer Ben Hammerschlag.Importer: Ben Hammerschlag, Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 923-1376
