The idea for this blend came to Aaron at the last minute during our blending trials. It was one of those moments of true inspiration that lead to this beautiful wine and the moment he put it in a glass, we knew we had something special. In 2013, our Grenache grapes came in from Washington State with the ideal chemistry for making a Spanish style wine. Very ripe red fruit flavors, high alcohol, and high acidity made it the perfect candidate for blending with our lower acid, dark fruit Tempranillo from California. We then added some of our Washington Cabernet Sauvignon to round out the wine for a bold final blend. We kept the varietals separate for 9 months and, after assembling the blend, aged an additional 8 months before bottling.
