From Eric Guido: Peppery rose, and wild strawberries are complemented by hints of shaved cedar as the 2022 Grenache/Syrah blend Chrisy & Wise blossoms in the glass. This is remarkably pretty, with a savory core of minerality and cool-toned red and blue fruits that swirl throughout. Hints of tart blackberry and citrus linger as the 2022 finishes gently tannic and spicy yet fresh.
Vineyard: THIS WINE COMES FROM CHRISTY & WISE VINEYARD IN STA. RITA HILLS OWNED BY THE SAME OWNERS OF DUVARITA. THE VINEYARD IS CERTIFIED ORGANIC AND BIODYNAMIC, NESTLED NEAR LOMPOC AND THE COAST. WITH A COOLER CLIMATE, APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES COOLER THAN PASO ROBLES, THE REGION IS KNOWN FOR ITS LONG RIPENING SEASOn. ORIGINALLY A PINOT NOIR AND CHARDONNAY TERRITORY, MORE GRENACHE IS EMERGING FROM THESE SOILS. The christy & wise bottling is an excellent representation of where lone madrone is heading as the next generation of the family begins to spread its wings.
