2007 Tor ROCK Grenache Hommage Allan Judge Vyd
90pts(WA)The 2007 Tor Homage Alan-Judge Vineyard, a blend of 70% Grenache and 30%
Syrah, offers up beautiful notes of kirsch, licorice, lavender, pepper,
spice, and raspberries, lovely fruit, medium to full body, a silky
texture, and a hedonistic, up-front appeal. Enjoy it over the next 4-5
years. Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 186 Dec 2009
90pts(ST)Good deep red-ruby. Musky, aromatic nose
features pepper, geranium and a lightly weedy element. Then silky, round
and wild in the mouth, with a floral lift contributing to the perfumed
impression. There's something Chateauneuf du Pape-like about this wine's
aromas, but in texture it has a much lighter touch. The grenache in
this vineyard struggled to ripen in 2007, noted Tor Kenward. Stephen Tanzer's International Wine
Cellar, May/Jun 09
Aromatically the 2007 Hommage Allan is turning more and more toward Châteauneuf as it evolves in bottle. It has beautiful earthy, soil driven aromas along with lite spice and a bit of dried lavender. On the palate it is medium weight with tremendous purity and focus. The predominant flavors are a mix of roasted meats, damp earth, blackberry and a little sweet smoke. Though certainly drinkable now, this wine shows all the signs of being one to tuck a few bottles away of and allow it to develop the more subtle/wonderful secondary flavors of age.
