IRUAI “Psychic Terroir” Coferment, Applegate Valley AVA 2024
750mL | 13% | 30% Muscat, 20% Syrah, 20% Cab Franc, 15% Grenache, 15% Gamay
Aromas of rose petals and fresh black currant with a hint of green, reminiscent of tomato leaf. Fresh fruit and spice come together in the form of juicy blackberry and green peppercorn with an enduring slatey mineral quality on the finish. Expect a wine with a confident identity made up of many different things — juicy, rustic, mineral-driven, and layered.
Psychic Terroir is a an homage to one of the most formative wines in Chad Westbrook’s winemaking journey. The original blend was a similar field blend where the final result was less like any individual grape in the blend and more of a sum of all of the parts — something beyond grapes. This recreation is meant to evoke the same emotions of that original wine.
