Altas Piedras Grenache opens with lifted aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry, and red cherry layered with hints of dried herbs and subtle spice. The unusually small clusters produced by the densely planted vines contribute both concentration and structure, giving the wine fine-grained tannins and surprising depth. On the palate, vibrant red fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and a gently savory undertone, while the restrained use of neutral oak preserves the purity of the fruit. The finish is long, bright, and textural, with lingering notes of red berries and delicate spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1700\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1700\"\u003eProducer’s Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"2322\"\u003eFine Disregard Wine Co. is the personal project of Mike Schieffer and Kara Maraden, two wine professionals deeply rooted in California viticulture and winemaking.
