UNITED STATES Arizona: Red:

Aridus, Arizona (United States) Grenache 2016 ($40):  I’ve written about this producer before, and they continue to impress with solid wines that, while outside what we think of as the norm, come across with a delicious flair.  This Grenache delivers ripe strawberry fruit girded by chocolate, fall spice and toasty oak, and it finishes with sweet oak giving the fruit a nice push and making a little white pepper pop brightly.  It’s at peak now.   Put this tasty Arizona wine in your next blind tasting and watch the eyebrows rise.
