Blend or Cuvée: 36% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache, 18% Tannat, 8% Syrah, 4% Counoise, 4% Mataro & 2% Graciano

Nose: Immediately electrifying on the nose, with mouthwatering red and black licorice, candied cherry, and dried tamarind. A wisp of black pepper and mushroom hovers in the background, offering a new experience with each smell.

Palate: Very soft at first sip with a round and silky texture, the wine reveals notes of strawberry, raspberry, clove, and cinnamon. Vibrant acidity and a light spiciness carry through a nearly endless finish.

Winemaking Notes: This wine brings together several grape varieties from different soils across Paso Robles. Each was picked around 24° Brix and fermented separately in small batches. Gentle techniques like pump-overs and hand punch-downs helped preserve the wine’s vibrant, juicy character while keeping tannins smooth and balanced. It was then aged in neutral French oak for 15 months to enhance texture and complexity without overshadowing the fresh fruit.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Master of The Wine Palate says, "The 2022 End of the Day Red Cuvée is composed of 36% Mourvedre, 28% Grenache, 18% Tannat, 8% Syrah, 4% Counoise, 4% Mataro, and 2% Graciano, aged for 15 months in neutral French oak. Pale to medium ruby colored, it comes bounding out of the glass with notes of raspberry preserves, kirsch, and Chinese five spice, with hints of dried roses and anise. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully plush and juicy with a lively line and spicy kick to the finish." 91 Points
