The Andremily Grenache 2020 is Jim’s third vintage of this insanely good wine, and he’s achieved perfection with a 100 point score from Jeb Dunnuck. Jim combined fruit from his new Slide Hill Estate Vineyard in Edna Valley with three bonafide ‘Grand Crus’: Alta Mesa, almost 1,000 metres above sea level on the Santa Barbara Highlands, Larner in Ballard Canyon just 6 miles from the coast, and G2 in Paso Robles which is one of the most in-demand sites in California among the elite winemakers. It’s a perfect recipe: “Absolutely brilliant, and unquestionably up with the finest examples of this variety out there.”
