Lunar Maria, a Spanish blend of Tempranillo, Granacha, and Mataro, is so alluring we named it after lunar basaltic soil. Magnetic notes of cherry precede an elegant entry. Additional aromas of raspberry, black pepper spice, leather, subtle oak with coffee baking spice. The palate is mid-weight with softer tannins.
La Scorie is a Rhone-style blend inspired by the supple, dark fruit driven symphony of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Grenache. Beautiful complexity with notes of plum and blackberry, dark roast coffee, spicy notes of nutmeg, allspice, subtle black peppercorn. A nice concentration with medium bodied tannins.
The Cratonic is a Bordeaux blend with great intensity and solid depth of flavor. Prominent Cassis, blackberry, and black cherry tones. Toasty notes in the mouth with coffee bean and mocha with a rich concentrated intensity.
Gold/Invitational, GNWW! This delicious red blend comes from the Columbia Valley, a region known for fruit-forward, balanced, and drinkable wines on release. Aromas of ripe, dark fruit are dotted by hints of red fruit on the nose. Notes of black cherry and plum make for a fruit-forward palate with soft tannin throughout.
