The 2021 Francis Road Vineyard is an unusual blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Mission from an organically farmed vineyard in the Cucamonga Valley that includes about 20% white grapes. Pale garnet, it's bursting with aromas of raspberry, strawberry and cranberry with spicy accents of tea leaves, mossy bark, potpourri, quinine and bitter citrus. The light-bodied palate is chalky and fresh with savory iodine undertones, bitters-laced fruit and a refreshing finish. There's an appealing wildness to this wine, although it won't be everyone's cup of tea.
