Vineyard
Ravie is a blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from Alisos Canyon and Los Olivos District, and Syrah from Ibarra-Young Vineyard. A fun and probably atypical expression of a Santa Barbara County GSM. The word ‘ravie’ translates to the feminine version of ‘delighted’ in French. The final blend is 62% Grenache, 23% Mourvèdre, and 15% Syrah
Soil
Alluvial floodplain soils
Viticulture
Ingredients: Demeter certified biodynamic Grenache and Mourvèdre grapes, regenerative organic and holistically farmed Syrah grapes
Vinification
Each component of Ravie was harvested and fermented separately, with varying percentages of whole cluster. All ferments were pressed gently and aged individually in neutral French oak before being blended together about a month prior to bottling. The final blend conatains 41% whole cluster
Aging
Aged for 10 months in neutral, French oak and the final blend rested in tank for the 11th month and bottled unfined and unfiltered
Production
386 cases
Notes
Loads of strawberry, fruit punch and pepper. She’s the texture of tying a knot out of a cherry stem. She is hiking in the woods on a hot day with a picnic of freshly cut red fruits in your cooler. Delightfully balanced and full of character, truly, a people pleaser. This wine will go anywhere and everywhere.
