Summer Sips: Two Wines To Try

We wel­come longer days and warmer temps, and look for­ward to gath­er­ing with friends and fam­i­ly to cel­e­brate sum­mer! Hav­ing the right wines on hand can enhance any gath­er­ing. We’re shar­ing two unique wines that can be enjoyed chilled. These two wines are great con­ver­sa­tion starters and per­fect pair­ings for any sum­mer gathering.

For those who dare to ven­ture into the realm of chill­able reds, our ​“Just Because 2022” offers an excit­ing jour­ney. Yes, you can chill this red wine as a won­der­ful way to enjoy hot weath­er with an alter­na­tive to white or rosé. This 100% Syrah, craft­ed from organ­i­cal­ly farmed, pris­tine fruit, under­goes a car­bon­ic fer­men­ta­tion process. In a sen­tence, car­bon­ic fer­men­ta­tion is a method where whole grape clus­ters are fer­ment­ed in a sealed envi­ron­ment filled with car­bon diox­ide, lead­ing to a fruity, less tan­nic wine. ​“The car­bon­ic process is a blind jour­ney, and this vin­tage I opt­ed to inter­rupt the process in an effort to shep­herd the wine to its utmost poten­tial. After forty-nine days, the mac­er­at­ed clus­ters and their juice were destemmed and intro­duced to a tra­di­tion­al open top ves­sel,” shares wine­mak­er, Josh Beck­ett. This care­ful inter­ven­tion and fin­ish­ing in neu­tral French Oak bar­rels high­light the wine’s ripe blue fruit fla­vors, crushed stone, and black pep­per notes.
