Vitals: 35% whole cluster Grenache from three blocks at Watch Hill Vineyard, co-fermented with Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and tiny bits of Roussanne and Viognier, raised in a variety of 400L and 500L barrels for about two years.
Not yet reviewed; 2020 vintage rated 94 points by Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2020 Optimist is another Rhône-like blend based on 45% Grenache, 40% Syrah, and near-equal parts Roussanne and Petit Verdot. Ripe blackberries, darker cherries, leather, pepper herbs, and hints of cigar all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, silky, beautifully balanced, and elegant."
