Turtle Rock Vineyards Plum Orchard is a very pleasing Grenache based blend. Both the Grenache and Mataro are grown in decomposed sandstone that gives way to elegant red fruit and spice. We fermented with 50% whole cluster then aged for 22 months in 50% new French oak. This wine is handsomely full bodied but with fine, soft tannin and a lasting finish. Blend: 87% Grenache, 13% Mataro.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 93 Points
"The 2018 Plum Orchard is a blend of 87% Grenache and 13% Mataro made with about 50% whole cluster and aged in about 40% new French oak for 20 months. It's a wine of distinctive character and lift, grown on decomposed sandstone. Medium ruby-purple in the glass, it has lovely aromas of dried red berries, garrigue, saline and olive, with a medium-bodied palate that's spicy, layered, fresh, silky and long."
