2021 LOST IS FOUND - RED WINE
Vineyard: Antelope Valley AVA, Los Angeles County
Viticulture: no spray, but some non-organic fertilizer used via drip irrigation.
Ingredients: grapes, sulfites
Destemmed, indigenous fermentation, aged in used barrels for approx 12 months.
Okay, so you’ve noticed we don’t mention grape varieties. But in the case of this wine we literally don’t know what variety of grape we made into this wine. This is because of vineyard change of ownership, and perhaps the vagaries of time, and maybe even mis-labeling at a nursery somewhere along the way. The short story is that we were told this was one grape which it most certainly is not and nobody who works with this grape thinks it’s that grape either. So give it your best guess… there’s no wrong, or right, answer.
What we do know about this wine is that it might be our favorite daily drinker. It’s a classic table wine in that it is like the service at an incredible restaurant. It doesn’t force you to pay attention to it, but it makes your whole experience memorable. It fits seamlessly into your experience, and has just enough personality to make you smile every time it comes to your table.
These grapes grew in the Antelope Valley, Los Angeles County. The AV is known as the High Desert. With elevations around 3,000 feet, minimal rain, and daily hot, dry winds, these vines don’t need to be sprayed. The day to night temperature swings can be 50 degrees.
The name: The name of the grape variety has been lost. We wanted to embrace that sense of confusion and unease that comes when we realize we don’t know, that we are out of control. Uncertainty creates a feeling that many of us find uncomfortable. What if rather than avoid that feeling, we sought it out? What if we started using that feeling as our guide?
