NOTES FROM JUSTIN:
Wow, another awesome Rocket Grenache! This wine is really
bringing it. Red red fruits, think crushed raspberry and
strawberries, with a kiss of black pepper and rosemary. (Is this a
weird combo?) Whatever it is, it's so pretty, yet so powerful at
the same time. I’m stoked on this wine, it might be my favorite of
this vintage.

Just bottled, the 2020 Rocket Block checks in as 82% Grenache, 13% Counoise, and the rest Mataro. It shows the more challenging style of the 2020 vintage but is unquestionably a beautiful wine, offering smoky dark fruits, roasted herbs, cured meats and pepper. Full-bodied, straight, and focused, it has fine-grained tannins and outstanding length. It's clearly not at the same level as previous vintages and shows some smoky nuances on the nose, but stays clean, although narrower and more foursquare on the palate. It will evolve for over a decade.
