    The 2020 Machete is a Petite Sirah-based red wine from California made from grapes sourced from prominent vineyards across the state. After extensive blending trials, the winemaker settled on a blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Grenache. On the nose, it has aromas of ripe pluot, carne asada, new cowboy boots, lilacs, espresso bean and wet concrete. On the palate, it has layers of plum galette topped with gelato, dark chocolate, and barbequed tri-tip, with puckering tannins and lingering acidity on the finish. The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak, 34

    2020 CALIFORNIA RED WINE

    Blending trials for Machete are amongst the favorite for each vintage. A Petite Sirah-based wine, the trial
    tastings leave everyone with purple teeth and a puckered palate. It can also be the most exhausting.
    However, after various tastings and blend iterations, the 2020 Machete is true to the style of being
    approachable for the highly tannic and visceral varietal. Prominent vineyards across the state make up
    the blend including the Frei Ranch, Barrelli, Snows Lake, Monte Rosso, Dark Horse, Stones Throw, Zaca
    Mesa and Summerwind vineyards.

    WINEMAKER’S NOTES
    A dark mauve core with a neon purple rim, the wine stains everything. Opening aromatics on the 2020
    Machete are gorgeous immediately: ripe pluot, carne asada, new cowboy boots, lilacs, espresso bean
    and wet concrete. On the palate, layers upon layers reveal themselves, from a plum galette topped with
    fior di latte gelato to 85% cacao dark chocolate to barbequed tri-tip and sweet oak. Puckering tannins to
    finish, the wine closes on a high note with a touch of blood orange zest and lingering acidity.
