This is Larry Schaffer‘s fifth rendition of this single ‘different’ wine, which he tweaks each year depending on his mood, and the fruit available. In this vintage, he combined 60% Cinsault with 40% Granache - all Santa Barbara fruit. Foot stomped, fermented 100% whole cluster on their stems, then pressed and aged entirely in stainless steel. What results is a light, vibrant colored wine, bursting with aromatics. 12% ABV, he recommends serving it slightly chilled. 6 barrels produced $40
