The 2022 O Drómos is a biodynamically farmed, low-yielding Grenache from Santa Ynez Valley, aged twenty-two months in neutral French oak after stainless steel fermentation. A warm, compressed vintage gave the wine ripeness and weight at 15.2% alcohol, with notes of ripe plum, cherry blossom, dried lavender and forest floor. A distinct pyrazinic roasted pepper note might seem unexpected in such a ripe expression, yet contrasts the darker tones of chocolate and espresso. Concentrated and intense, this small production bottling shows power moderated by an intriguing savoury counterpoint.
