2020 Crawford Family, Second Street Cuvée

For 2020 we continue with our goal of creating a top shelf, Côtes du Rhône style, blend that is meant to be easy drinking and pair well with a wide range of foods.  It should be the wine to reach for on a Wednesday night with a big plate of pasta or out at the grill.  We have been sourcing fruit from Broken Oak vineyard in the Los Olivos District for almost 20 years now.  We have the exclusive access to this little vineyard that is planted to Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre and is the basis for the Second Street Cuvée every year.  We may change the composition every year, depending on what Mother Nature gives us, but it is always the main source for this wine.  For 2020, Grenache takes center stage and makes for a bright, spicy, red fruit version of the Cuvée.  We are always happy and thankful for the long relationships we’ve developed with vineyards and their owners and believe the knowledge gained over the years enhances the wine and provides an even deeper sense of place in them.
