This 100% varietal wine all comes from the WeatherEye vineyard on the top of the ridge. This shows classic yarrow and Provençal herbal character on the nose alongside shades of wild strawberry and fresh sage. The palate is plush and shows amazing volume, with refined tannins. A massive core of red and dark fruits parade with chocolate dusted mandarin orange zest and herbal accents. Made in two new puncheons with light toast.

Powerful, bold, and expressive, the 2023 Full Disclosure Grenache WeatherEye Vineyard is generous yet full-bodied. Clocking in at 15.3% alcohol on the label, it doesn't feel like it. Expansive, big, and robust, it avoids feeling heavy, offering beautiful, dusty potpourri and spicy notes alongside wet stones, spiced plum skin, and dark cherries. Still tight and tannic, it will do wonders with age. This beauty is pure and precise with a rustic edge, so be patient, because I see where this particular bottle is headed and it is gorgeous in the most elegant way possible.

Vineyards

Perched high along the rugged ridgelines of Red Mountain, WeatherEye Vineyard is defined by extreme exposure, persistent winds, fractured basalt, and dramatic variations in slope and soil. These demanding conditions are particularly well suited to Rhône varieties, especially Grenache, producing wines of striking intensity and clarity with vibrant acidity, refined structure, and a distinctive expression of this remarkable site.
