Sourced entirely from our CCOF Certified Organic estate vineyard in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles, Future Crossings 2023 reflects the rising complexity of our fifth-leaf vineyard. With a dynamic blend of 59% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 6% Zinfandel, and 3% Mourvèdre, this wine expresses our belief that great wines begin in the vineyard. Harvested on October 6, 2023, the grapes were fermented with traditional destemming and open top fermentation to enhance optimal texture and freshness. Gentle punch-downs once or twice daily encouraged extended skin contact and integrated tannins. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French Oak barrels, the wine embodies the essence of its terroir while showcasing the complexity of the varietal blend. Each of these Rhone varieties are vinified separately prior to blending. In the final process, we strive to allow each varietal to showcase itself in the wine in a complex harmony of flavor. The blend is aged in neutral and new French oak barrels to offer nuances of spice and cedar and add a hint of toasted oak to the wine’s profile.

more about this wine
 

Aro­mat­ic hints of fruity tea leaves, orange rind, and herbs lead into a juicy, approach­able palate with fla­vors of dried fig, choco­late shav­ings, and blue­ber­ry. Mild tan­nins sweep across the tongue with a lift­ed acid­i­ty and a red-pur­ple hue, fin­ish­ing long with a slow fade of fruit and spice. This is a wine that does­n’t need a moment — it cre­ates one.

Future Cross­ings 2023 is deli­cious­ly flex­i­ble at the table — think roast­ed veg­eta­bles with Moroc­can spices or smoky egg­plant flat­breads for a veg­e­tar­i­an pair­ing that dances with the wine’s herbal notes. For the more adven­tur­ous, try it with a spiced lentil stew topped with crispy pota­toes. Best enjoyed dur­ing moments of pause — like catch­ing the last warmth of the sun on a hill­top, or unrolling a pic­nic blan­ket just because.
