A high plains drifter from the vast Stagecoach Ranch, facing southwest but at a cool 1,500 feet. Gets the sun ALL DAY making it ideal for Grenache, which ripens late and resists heat well. The fruit comes in bright and firm, alive and basically bad ass…

Hand punch-downs for gentle extraction. Grapes are put in open-top wooden fermenters, layered with dry ice and put into a cold room. When they’re ready, they’re brought outside to warm and start fermentation. No stem-inclusion. No additives, packaged yeasts or bacteria.

Sweet tobacco, plum, blackberry, blueberry, ripe cherry, fig, rosemary, dark chocolate, coffee. Rich and dense with layers of fruit and spice on the mid palate. Massive structure, beautiful weight and finish.
