2022 Bye-Bye Baby, Red Wine, California

‘Ay! Baby, don’t blow this popsicle stand. We got somethin’ here for the dames, the chumps, the mouthpieces, and the stool pigeons.

This wine takes us back to the days of classic film noir: femme fatales, doomed romances, suspicions, murders, double-crosses, and smooth car chases. Drama is in the air, and if delicious wines could kill, this would be our demise.

Just like the perfect noir, this wine has a lot of twists and turns…yet it’s reeeeal smooth, crushable, and captivating. This blend is Grenache and Mourvèdre dominant, giving it that juicy forefront. A bit of Cinsault and Syrah is thrown in there, so you don’t speed on into the depths of nighttime without a touch of something more decadent to explore.

We turned to carbonic maceration for this light and juicy style before pressing the grapes in stainless steel. This baby was aged for 5 months in French Oak, where her character development began to expand and flourish. While she may be young, this ain’t no flat damsel in distress. She’s strong-willed, with a mind of her own and a killer body to match.

In the glass, this wine is fine and delicate, with hues of cranberry and light rust. On the nose, this wine playfully teases with blueberry, plum tart, and a touch of oakiness, and it zooms into full throttle as soon as it hits the palate. Enveloping your entire mouth with silky and elegant tannins, this wine gives a complexity of emotion and passion in its flavor profile: cranberry and dark berry juiciness, baking spice, dark plum, and an undertone of earth and cedar.  And the real climax of the narrative? The finish. It’s a cliffhanger: keeping you guessing, leaving it lingering, and begging you to return to the start to solve the mystery all over again.

Listen, baby, don’t leave. We promise you won’t be disappointed.

We know it’s a dangerous world out there on those misty city sidewalks just begging for a tragedy to unfold, but hop in and we can solve this mystery before it all falls apart.

Sold Out

So long, sweetheart.
