2020 Linne Calodo, Rising Tides, Paso Robles 1x75cl
Blend 69% Grenache, 31% Syrah
Vintage production: 600 cases
The 2020 Rising Tides comes from a kaleidoscope of micro-blocks at the Linne Calodo Estate and Stonethrower Vineyard, including 13 total... blocks of Grenache alone. Each block contributes different
nuances of clone, aspect and soil composition. The main estate is planted to calcareous Linne Calodo and Linne Zakme soils, as well as Cropley clay loam along the lower blocks. Stonethrower is
distinguished by its rocky mudstone soils and multifaceted exposures. Together, these sites provide an array of expressions that interconnect and augment each other into a seamless whole.

2017 Saxum, The Hexe, Paso Robles 1x75cl
Blend: 58% Grenache, 27% Mataro, 11% Petite Sirah, 4% Tempranillo
Vintage production: 1,098 cases
Hexe is a remarkable, multi-vineyard cuvée that is built around Grenache. Not just any old Grenache... though. Justin Smith selects the blackest, most wicked Grenaches, the ones that he knows will benefit from 33 months aging in various large puncheons or concrete amphora.
The heart of this cuvée is the oldest block at James Berry Vineyard, a South facing hilltop Grenache block that was planted in 1980. Around this he weaves in some of the most intense Grenache and Mataro blocks from G2 Vineyard, along with a bit of Petite Sirah from Paderewski Vineyard. It is the dark side of Grenache. Black magic!

Blend: 55% Grenache, 29% Mataro, 13% Syrah, 3% Carignan
Vintage production: 1,102 cases
Surrounding the winery, the James Berry Vineyard is Saxum’s Jewel in The Crown and has been considered... hallowed ground by winemakers for nearly two decades.

Saxum's James Berry Vineyard was Paso’s first 100-point (RP) wine in 2007, and is one of the most sought-after labels among California’s great Rhône blends.

Vintage production: 900 cases
In the words of winemaker, Matt Trevisan:
“Sticks and Stones is our ballad to Grenache, and to our mindset as a blending... house. It’s the idea of taking the bright flavors and luscious acidity of our best Grenache barrels, then lengthening them out with complements of Syrah and Mourvèdre. It blurs the dividing line between a varietal wine and a showcase blend—essentially a Grenache done the Linne Calodo way."

“Rising Tides is my ode to all that we strive for in blending — going with... the ebb and flow of each vintage while holding fast to a constancy of style and terroir. It’s never been about what’s in the blend, but rather what it tastes like: a pleasurable wine to be enjoyed with good friends and great meals.”

2018 Clementine Carter, Grenache, Sta. Rita Hills 1x75cl
Blend: 100% Grenache
Vintage production: 220 cases
There are two sides to Grenache: the rich, deep and peppery wines, and those driven by elegance, purity and vibrancy. One of the best exponents of... the latter, more feminine style is winemaker Sonja Magdevski and her Clementine Carter label.
Perfectly described as "Pinot Noir lover's Grenache" by Jeb Dunnuck, Sonja's wines are utterly joyous and unlike anything else in our cellar. Best of all, despite vineyard production topping out at just over 300 cases, they are astonishingly well-priced.
Sonja produces tiny volumes of incredible Grenache, based around some brilliant vineyards in Santa Barbara County. The Kimsey and Larner Vineyards are in Ballard Canyon, and in addition to Sonja, their fruit is sourced by some of THE greatest winemakers in California, including Jim Binns for his Andremily wines. Sonja also sources some awesome fruit in Sta. Rita Hills for her third cuvée.

In the words of winemaker, Matt Trevisan:
“Overthinker is the liquid diary of my life as a... winegrower and winemaker. It’s the first wine I produced from the estate vineyard that I planted in 2005. I was called an ‘overthinker’ as a kid because I constantly opted for more information—and I’m still that way. Overthinker is now nearly 15 vintages deep, and it’s a story that continues to be written.”
