2022 Guthrie Family Wines “Heirloom” Carbonic Grenache, California
"Did you folks realize that Grenache graced California's soil back in 1860, a mere 14 years after the Golden State even became a thing? At one point, it stood tall as the second most prolific grape variety in this sun-soaked land, and for damn good reasons. This grape is as tough as they come, yielding bountiful harvests and soaking up the California sunshine like it was made for it. Can you dig where we're headed with this? It's a match that practically had the heavens themselves orchestrating.
Switch on and drop back into 1969. That's the groove this wine love child dances to. Our Carbonic Grenache leeds the luscious, fruity ecstasy of carbonic maceration with the timeless allure of bitter cherries and bay leaf from the old school. Toss in some coriander, a bucket of blood orange, a dash of twizzlers, and voila, you've got yourself a bona fide banger!
