<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nPalencia Winery 2019 Grenache <\/strong>\u2013 Gorgeous cherry aromatics and flavors lead off, followed by brighter raspberry, red currant, and ripe pomegranate fruit that result in great finishing acidity. With its dark color and complex structure, this is a beautifully crafted New World-style Grenache from the Yakima Valley AVA. Try it with flank steak and grilled vegetables or, for fun, a BLT with extra-crispy bacon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palencia\nWinery 2019 Casa Amarilla<\/strong> \u2013 This combination\nof 60-percent Grenache, 30-percent Syrah, and 10-percent Mourv\u00e8dre is packed\nwith bright, fresh, lead-off flavors of strawberry, cranberry sauce, and Red\nDelicious apple. The mid-palate also shows some headier dark plum and black\ncherry fruit with a trailing note of caramel and roasted walnut that give this\nthought-provoking wine an extra level of complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palencia Winery 2019 Syrah <\/strong>\u2013 Rose petals, white pepper, and a whiff of\nroasted coffee contribute to a stunning bouquet, with plenty of brambly\nberries, black plum, and black currant fruit on the palate and a splash of\nespresso on the finish. Solid tannins and nice acidity make this an excellent\nand versatile food-pairing wine to serve with everything from seared duck\nbreast to grilled lamb burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palencia Winery 2019 Mourv\u00e8dre <\/strong>\u2013 Primarily used for blending, Mourv\u00e8dre is sometimes\nbold and tannic as a stand-alone varietal. And although there\u2019s plenty of heft\nwith this wine, it also carries a near-elegant quality and a savory\/earthy\nflavor profile. Black olive, tarragon, and elderberry stand out, with notes of\ndried cherry on a lengthy finish. Gamey meats or a hearty beef stew come to\nmind as excellent food choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palencia\nWinery El Vi\u00f1ador 2018 Tempranillo <\/strong>\u2013 Sweet\ntobacco and cigar box aromatics are followed by layers of concentrated Italian\ncherry, rum raisin, and cola flavors along with nuances of leather and cedar.\nThe mile-long finish strikes the perfect balance between silky and textured,\nresulting in a \u201cwow\u201d wine that is both instantly drinkable and a cellar-worthy\nchoice for future enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palencia\nWinery El Vi\u00f1ador 2019 Syrah <\/strong>\u2013 Sourced\nfrom the Red Mountain AVA, this incredible Syrah opens with intoxicating\naromatics of violets and hazelnuts. Intense dark fruits of currant, blackberry,\nand Marionberry come to the forefront, along with a slice of blueberry cobbler.\nThe dreamy, ultra-long\/ultra-velvety finish concludes with deft touches of marzipan,\ncaf\u00e9 au lait, and toasted almonds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Winemaker Victor Palencia has a full slate of new releases coming your way in 2022 that should be on your radar for “Washington wines to try” in the New Year.
