Jester Grenache 2023

92 Points
The Jester series, the very name, on one hand almost condemns the wines to exclusion from consideration as serious offerings. On the other, it shows us that these are wines that are for enjoyment rather than endless cerebral analysis. There is a place for both, especially when they are cracking drinking and offer terrific value. The wine sees a contribution from a mix of French and American oak maturation. A deep crimson hue with aromas of strawberries, dried herbs, florals and red fruits, warm earth and some sour cherry notes. A silky texture, fresh acidity and a juicy palate which is most attractive drinking. Delicious. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this is not a seriously good wine and great value.

Medium-deep red-purple; gentle meaty overtones to spiced red berry fruits. Very appealing aromas and flavours, raspberry/red cherry to blackberry, the palate medium bodied and soft textured, an easygoing wine that already drinks really well. Utterly delicious, and look at the price.
