A fresh, expressive take on Grenache, Future Crossings 2024 brings together vibrant energy and beautifully balanced structure offering flavors of red cherry, garden herbs, white pepper and wild strawberry. Medium-bodied and elegant, this is a wine that feels both grounded in its place and effortlessly drinkable.

Sourced entirely from our CCOF Certified Organic estate vineyard in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles, Future Crossings 2024 marks the sixth-leaf vintage of our young Thibido Vineyard. The 2024 growing season began with ample winter rainfall that replenished the vineyard after several dry years, followed by a cool spring and a warm, dry summer. This combination gave the vines access to valuable moisture early in the season while allowing the fruit to ripen under classic Paso Robles sunshine, resulting in fruit with concentration, freshness, and balance.

The 2024 vintage is a blend of 70% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 11% Carignan, and 1% Mourvèdre. Each variety contributes its own character to the final blend: Grenache brings bright red fruit and energy, Syrah adds spice and depth, Carignan contributes structure and freshness, and Mourvèdre provides a subtle savory complexity.

In the cel­lar, we took a low-inter­ven­tion, hands-off approach designed to pre­serve the fresh­ness and char­ac­ter of the fruit. The grapes under­went native fer­men­ta­tion with indige­nous yeast and received soft hand punch­downs twice dai­ly. Rather than over­work­ing the wine, we allowed the fruit and vine­yard to lead, cre­at­ing a wine with nat­ur­al tex­ture, lift, and expression.

On the nose, fresh herbs min­gle with light straw­ber­ry and a touch of white pep­per. The palate is medi­um-bod­ied and ener­getic, with fla­vors of red cher­ry and red licorice car­ried by ele­gant, soft tan­nins. Bright acid­i­ty gives the wine lift, while a bal­anced struc­ture keeps the fruit focused and per­sis­tent through the finish.

The 2024 Future Cross­ings is an easy match for spiced lamb meat­balls or lentil soup. Bright, fresh and ver­sa­tile enough for every­thing from after­noon hangs to a casu­al din­ner around the table. 

With just 74 cas­es pro­duced, Future Cross­ings 2024 is an expres­sion of our estate vine­yard — and a snap­shot of where these vines are head­ed as they con­tin­ue to mature.
