Fine Disregard, Grenache Altas Piedras, 2018
Altas Piedras means 'high rocks,' and that's exactly what this is: head-trained, dry-farmed, organically grown Grenache planted in the metavolcanic rock of the eastern Alexander Valley foothills. Mike Schieffelin of Fine Disregard calls his approach here 'lazy winemaking' — meaning the vineyard does the work and he stays out of the way. The result is a bright, red-fruited, tightly structured Grenache with serious chalky grip, a world away from jammy California versions. Give it air. Worth grabbing while it lasts, as this site is winding down for them.
