The wine here is silky and seamless, packed with tannin, flavor and perfume.

"I didn't make it any differently (than the other Grenaches]; I've just let the vineyard sing," SCP

And sing, it does.

Notes of Boscobel rose, sweet licorice, graphite, ironstone and tobacco.

What a wine.

The release of this Sunrise Grenache marks the arrival of an "off- the-leash Pannell"; he has been tirelessly championing premium Grenache from McLaren Vale for years in his own oeuvre of structure, shape, tannin and freshness. It feels as if all of the Grenache that Pannell has made over the decades has been leading up to this point.

It was worth the wait.
