It comes primarily from Eleven Confessions (71%) and The Third Twin (23%) vineyards, with the remainder from Cumulus Vineyard. The blend is 79% Grenache, 8.4% Syrah, 7.4% Mourvèdre, 3.2% Petite Sirah, 1.6% Petit Manseng, and 0.4% Muscat. The Distenta III was vinified using approximately 35% whole cluster Grenache and aged in 42% new French oak barrels of varying sizes for about 23 months. It has a medium to deep ruby ​​color and is incredibly aromatic at this stage. Aromas of wild berry jam are accentuated by hints of wildflowers, tar, mandarin, and coffee beans. The full-bodied palate is concentrated yet vibrant, bursting with crisp, floral fruit and surprisingly energetic acidity. It displays detailed, grainy tannins and a long, lively finish that carries its alcohol well. 1,459 cases and 600 magnums are planned, with a release in spring 2024.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck – Rated 97-99:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eIntended for relatively early bottling, the 2021 Grenache Distenta III (79% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre, and the remainder Petite Sirah with a touch of white grape varieties) offers a full-bodied, concentrated, yet pure and elegant profile, along with magnificent aromas of ripe black cherries, blackberries, peppery herbs, violets, and assorted floral nuances. From a cooler year, it still brings beautiful depth and richness, silky tannins, and a lovely finish.

The floral aromas make a strong first impression. There's plenty of SQN richness, but also less overt opulence than most vintages. I tasted it from a tank sample just before bottling. The 2021 is simply gorgeous. I can't wait to taste it from the bottle.
