Caruso 2021 Grenache Santa Barbara County – Organic, Low-Intervention Red | 94 Points


🍷 Tasting Notes

Caruso 2021 Grenache is a stunning expression of organically farmed Santa Barbara County terroir, crafted with precision, purity, and passion. This elegant, low-intervention red is perfect for discerning wine lovers—and especially meaningful for those with the Caruso name or family heritage. Whether you're gifting a bottle with your name on the label or enjoying it at your own table, this wine delivers on both sentiment and sophistication.

Sourced from the organically farmed Piazza Bella Vista Vineyard and blended with 17% Syrah from the certified organic Kimsey Vineyard, the wine captures the vibrant energy of California’s Central Coast. Fermented with 50% whole cluster, aged 15 months in neutral French oak, and bottled unfined and unfiltered, it’s a thoughtful Grenache with both structure and soul.

In the glass, expect aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, and rose petals, layered with savory notes of dried herbs, white pepper, and baking spice. A delicate minerality and juicy acidity carry the wine through a long, refined finish framed by fine, silky tannins.

Whether you're a Caruso by name, by spirit, or by taste—this is a wine worth putting your name on.
