Powell & Son, Seppeltsfield Brennecker Grenache other_regions_italy suggesting maybe an open botteThe 2015 Brennecker Grenache is charry and dusty, spiced and toasty. There's charred tobacco pipe, clay, brick dust and pastrami, kicked earth and pomegranate molasses. It is bloody and visceral, with sweet marrow and gravel.
