We have so little Lone Wold that we still wanted to offer a package
even when we had sold out of it. We knew that we would also run out of Riverside Red. This package contains neither of those two wines, but one bottle of every other and two of the Pecorino.
I will deliver this to your door if you live
close enough to Los Angeles; if you live in San Diego, you will see my
brilliant colleague Lauren.
These are the wines:2019 M.E.P.P.
Pecorino from the Ponte Vineyard in Temecula. 50% skin-fermented, 50% juice.
The
name stands for "Modified Emidio Pepe Pecorino Protocol"-- named for
the wine of one our heroes, and the touchstone for our success in this
wine.You will receive two bottles of this wine.
2019 Raisin City
Incredible bio-dynamically farmed, own-rooted, Palomino from the infinite deserts of Fresno
2019 Lopez Rosé
Not
white at all, but we tried: a deeply colored rosé made from Zinfandel
from Lopez. Foot-stomping and 3 hours of skin-contact released all of
the color. The wine has the flavor and presence of a white wine in spite
of its appearance.
2019 Lopez Red
100% Zinfandel, planted in
1920 in the Cucamonga Valley just east of Los Angeles. Growing in deep
sand, on their own roots, farmed organically and without irrigation. The
vineyard is a natural treasure, preserved by the wonderful Galleano
family.
2019 Galleano Home
An incredible blend of ancient
own-rooted vines, planted by the Galleano in 1920 for Port and Sherry
production. One-third each Alicante Bousquet, Salvador, and white fruit:
Palomino, Mission, and Rose of Peru. Harvested by us on the hottest day
of the year, foot-stomped, co-fermented.
