Talley Grenache Arroyo Grande Valley Rincon Vineyard 2019

94 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "[$60 list] Shimmering ruby-red. Highly perfumed red fruit preserve and incense aromas are complemented by suave floral and exotic spice nuances. Sappy, seamless and penetrating in the mouth, offering appealingly sweet Chambord, cherry and candied lavender flavors that show excellent clarity and spicy back-end lift. The floral and spice notes drive a persistent, focused finish framed by polished, smoothly integrated tannins. Drink: 2024-2033. (Apr 2022)"

93 points/'Editor's Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas of raspberry, crumpled flowers and fresh herbs show on the delicious nose of this bottling. It's superfresh, fun and easy to like on the palate, where pomegranate, cinnamon and hibiscus flavors align. Enjoy slightly chilled. Alcohol 14.4%. (Dec 2021)"

90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Reminding me of a terrific Côtes du Rhône from Laurent Charvin, the 2019 Grenache from Talley gives up lots of kirsch fruits as well as notes of peppery herbs, and spice. Charming and balanced on the palate, I’d be thrilled to drink a bottle any time over the coming 4-5 years. Drink: 2021-2026. (Sep 2021)"
