2013 Sticks and Stones

A sensational expression of California Grenache, Matt's 2013 Sticks and Stones gives up tons of sweet cherries, raspberries, crushed, flowers and spice characteristics in a medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant profile. Made from 70% Grenache, 12% Mourvedre, 10% Cinsault and 8% Syrah, it shines for its overall balance, purity of fruit and light, ethereal mouthfeel that keeps you coming back to the glass. It's already drinking great so don't be afraid to crack open a bottle. It should still be going strong in 2022.

The 2013 Sticks and Stones has matured beautifully, showing a more savory and darkly alluring profile that mixes dusty blackcurrant with grilled herbs and ashen stones. The nose is wonderfully fresh and lifted, offering dark red berry fruit, sage and violet. A pleasantly bitter twang lingers on the finish, with a hint of fine tannin and outstanding length.
