This is a rule breaker, start with the very best most perfectly ripe Grenache grown in California, Thank you James Berry Vineyard, blend in some of the sexiest most authentic cold climate Syrah that is perfectly ripe at 11.2% Alc..Thank you Nellessen Vineyard, then add some of the funkiest wildest Grenache..Thank you Booker Vineyard with the meatiest Mourvedre on the planet... again James Berry and some of the brightest and most aromatic Grenache we’ve seen... hello Castelli-Knight Ranch... pick them all at their peak, crush by foot... age in old French Oak barrels for 12 months then blend the entire lot into a single sealed stainless steel tank for the final 6 months of elevage and here is one sexy beast.
