The 1999 El Chaparral is a 100% old vine (60-100 years) Grenache cuvee. It displays a deceptively light ruby color as well as crisp, light to medium-bodied flavors reminiscent of kirsch liqueur and cherry jam. Although lighter than previous vintages, it is well-made, soft, and ideal for consuming over the next year.
