2024 Ogama Grenache

Ogama’s namesake is a yōkai of Japanese folklore—an enormous, long-lived toad that breathes rainbows. It’s a playful name for our Grenache, a variety still fairly uncommon in Napa Valley.

Medium ruby in color, the 2024 Ogama opens with intense red-fruit aromas and wild berries, layered with notes of bay leaf, pink peppercorn, and candied orange peel. It is juicy across the palate with moderate dusty tannins and a lightly chalky finish.

This Grenache’s moderate weight and savory character make it a versatile partner for many dishes, but it is particularly good with yakitori.

Drink within 10 years, or before you’re devoured by a giant toad.
