Winemaker Notes
From the heart of California's Rhone Zone, the first EQUUS Grenache is made entirely from fruit grown on the James Berry Vineyard, an impeccably managed hillside vineyard located in west Templeton. Contributing sweetness & spice, Grenache Noir often represents the largest single variety in the classic Southern Rhone blend of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and, in Spain, dubbed "Garnacha", it's a frequent contributor to the typical red Rioja blend. We think you'll find EQUUS Grenache to be lush and fruit-forward with bright acidity and a lingering finish.
This lush wine is fruit forward, with pronounced bing cherry, plum jam and raspberry aromas that lead to lush, ripe fruit flavors, bright acidity and a lingering finish. This wine is tightly wound and will continue to evolve with further cellaring. The 1999 EQUUS Grenache will complement grilled meats and vegetables, braised lamb, stews, aged cheeses and provençal-style rustic foods.

Located south of Paso Robles in Templeton, California, Wild Horse Winery was founded in 1983 by Ken Volk. Wild Horse Winery was named for the wild mustangs that roamed the hills east of the vineyard estate. These mavericks suggest a free, noble spirit and are the ideal symbol for the Wild Horse Winery commitment to spirited winemaking. The vineyard and winery location was selected for its low vigor soils, proven ground water table, proximity to Estero Bay and rural atmosphere. Wild Horse Winery creates compelling wines from 16 diverse appellations and more than 40 vineyards from the Central Coast. Wild Horse Winery is committed to sustainable viticultural and business practices and creating fine wines that express the best of the region’s diversity. "Live Naturally, Enjoy Wildly" reflects the attitude and personalities of the people who have been creating these wines for over 25 years.
