Guthrie Family Wines “Heirloom” Carbonic Grenache, California 2023
Did you know Grenache was planted in California back in 1860, just a decade or so after statehood? It was once the state's second most-planted grape, and for good reason: it's tough, generous and soaks up the sunshine like it was made for it. Blair Guthrie channels that history into a carbonic Grenache with a 1969 groove, made with minimal sulfites added.
Tasting Notes
"The juicy, fruity rush of carbonic maceration meets old-school bitter cherry and bay leaf, with coriander, plenty of blood orange and a playful hint of red licorice. A bona fide banger." — Harvest Wine Shop
