✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The name 'Ancora Imparo'—meaning 'Yet I am learning,' a phrase famously attributed to Michelangelo in his twilight years—serves as the guiding philosophy for this expressive Grenache from JM Cellars. Winemaker John Bigelow uses this cuvée to explore the nuances of Washington State Grenache, a grape that requires patience and precise vineyard management to truly shine. Sourced from acclaimed, high-elevation sites in the Columbia Valley, such as the Boushey Vineyard, the wine benefits from warm days and cool desert nights. This dramatic diurnal shift preserves the grape's natural acidity while allowing for optimal phenolic ripeness. The wine is typically aged in neutral French oak barrels to preserve its vibrant red fruit profile, floral aromatics, and delicate white pepper spice, showcasing a lighter, more elegant side of Washington red winemaking.
