Cherry and turned earth on the nose meets concentrated red fruit with an expansive and juicy mid-palate. Finishes with notes of crushed stone and sage. This vintage is a blend of the elegance of organically farmed Swayze Vineyard and the more muscular and structured organic estate Grenache. The blend includes 4% co-fermented estate Mourvedre. Aged 18 months in primarily neutral barrels with 10% new French oak. 93 Points - Wine Enthusiast
An ambitious project tying disparate Los Angeles County vineyards into one bottling, this wine, which includes 4% Mourvèdre, begins with aromas of salted meats, pomegranate paste, roasted strawberry and light smoke. The palate packs the variety's typical red-fruit and gingerbread-spice flavors with hints of caramel and more smoke, lingering deep into the finish.
