Grochau Cellars Description

Rouleur, is a cycling term that means “all-rounder.” These are riders, who can serve any number of roles, but they are the ones who pull a lead rider to victory.

The 2021 vintage was a unique growing season in the Willamette Valley. The year started much the same as it has for twenty years, with bud break beginning in mid-April. The summer was hotter and dryer than usual, with new record high temperatures in the Willamette Valley. Despite the intense heat, we picked grapes with balanced sugars and acids, giving us wine that is immediately charming, with vibrant fruit and supple textures.

Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points

Made with fruit from seven vineyards, the 25% whole cluster-fermented wine rested in 25% new French oak for 10 months. It is fuller-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and all the blackberry and blackcap raspberry fruit you can handle, accented by mint, lavender and black tea with lemon.
