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

About Guthrie Family Wines

Vibrant Wines from Organic Grapes

We could bore you with a long story. If we did, it would be a romantic one telling you how we met working harvest and made out behind the press, or how we dreamed of someday making California wines we could be proud of and passionate about. But we won’t do that. We also won’t tell you long stories about our organic vineyard sources, our abundance of judicious winemaking decisions in the cellar, or our love of varieties from the Rhone. 

Instead, we’ll tell you that we probably have a lot in common. We’re betting that you like good music, cooking in cast iron, a tattoo here and there, a great cup of coffee and a well balanced and thoughtfully crafted bottle. Or two. You’re probably the kind of person that cares more about how you got there rather than how long it took. 

We’re that Sunday morning, bathrobe dancing to Rufus and Wax Tailor kind of feeling. That chocolate chip cookie and orange juice vibe. You know how it feels the first time you jump into bed after you've just put fresh sheets on, crisp but cozy? Or when you sink into a deep warm bath? Our wines taste like that!

We’ll let the bottles speak for themselves. We love farming them, making them, and drinking them and we’re guessing you will too. If you want to know more check out our tech sheets, that’s where all the nerdy stuff lives. If you’d like to ask us a question, feel free to reach out. Until then. 

Cheers,

Caroline and Blair Guthrie, owners and winemakers
