BAKER RIDGE VINEYARD, SHLAPHLEE BLOCK – RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

The 2017 Grenache Noir from Baker Ridge’s Shlaphlee Block offers a bold and expressive wine, aged for 13 months in puncheons to enhance its structure with a balanced oak influence. Vibrant red fruits of cherry and strawberry are complemented by hints of spice and earth, creating a rich, full-bodied wine with silky texture and vibrant acidity.

Why we love this Wine

The 2017 Grenache Noir from Baker Ridge’s Shlaphlee Block delivers an intensely layered and expressive wine. Aged in puncheons for 13 months (twice the size of standard barrels), this process allows for a slower, more gradual aging, resulting in a pronounced yet balanced oak profile. Vibrant red fruit flavors, complemented by hints of spice and earth, define this bold yet elegant wine.
