2019 Two Wolves Group Song

50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Graciano, 6% Syrah, 1% Petit Verdot.

Winemaking: Each component for this blend was vinified individually, using a variety of techniques. The Merlot was destemmed and fermented in an open top tank. Block 3 Cabernet was fermented in 600L rotary barrels, and block 1 in open top puncheons. Graciano from Two Wolves was fermented in an open top vessel. Right Left Syrah was 100% whole cluster. All ferments were carried out by native yeast, and after pressing the wines were aged in French oak before being blended and bottled in the summer of 2021.

Vineyard: Harvested: Sept 24 – 24 Oct, 2019. Right Left Vineyard. Blocks 4 and 5. Soil: Positas fine sandy loam with gravel. Two Wolves Vineyard. Blocks 1, 3, 5A. Soil: Chamise shaly loam and Positas fine sandy loam. Santa Barbara County. Certified Organic.

Vintage notes: The vintage produced beautiful fruit with a weather pattern that turly felt like a “normal” year. Most of the fruit was harvested weeks later than the past 4 years.

Tasting notes: On the nose you may find Luxardo cherries, raspberry licorice, violets, deep dark fruit, fresh cut herbs, and pencil shavings… with the palate gifting you a freshness and bright lift. This wine has a lightly tannic grip and the fresh mint stays with you. Drink this by the campfire. – Alecia Moore, Two Wolves
