Original Gangster

Much More Information...

It’s like I was empty.  Well I’m not empty any more …

100% Grenache: full-bodied, deep color and long finish. ORIGINAL Gangster means being true to your roots. Say it like it is. Some of the best Napa wines these days are Rhone varietals.

Back by popular demand. A high plains drifter from the vast Stagecoach Ranch. The vineyard sits at a cool 1500 feet, but faces South West and gets the sun ALL DAY making it ideal for Grenache, which ripens late and resists heat well. Even in hot years the fruit comes in bright and firm, alive and basically bad ass. … Sweet tobacco, plum, blackberry, blueberry, ripe cherry, fig, rosemary, dark chocolate, coffee ..rich and dense with layers of fruit and spice on the mid palate. Massive structure, beautiful weight and finish.

We made our OG from 2012 to 2014, and have revived it due to popular demand.
Wood vats, hand punch, no stem inclusion.
