Readers wanting a full-throttle Grenache should check out the 2003 Yesterday’s Hero, a 200-case cuvee of 90% Grenache from 80-year-old vines and 10% Shiraz. This stunning, deep purple-colored effort offers a knock-out nose of candied black cherries, licorice, plum liqueur, pepper, and spice. Opulent and seductive, with velvety tannin, tremendous texture, fabulous purity, and a blockbuster finish, this wine should be consumed over the next 4-5 years.
