(46%, Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 24% Syrah) 

Sculpterra’s 2022 Mega Focus is a Grenache dominant GSM style wine. It offers plentiful aromas of plum, boysenberry, strawberry, clove, and roasted almonds with floral notes of jasmine and violet.. A chalky-dusty texture frames each sip, where red currants, roasted meat, and nutmeg come together. It is medium bodied and a perfect example of warm climate Grenache done right! This wine is so well balanced and complex,  yet supple and soft with easy tannins.

(54% Mourvèdre, 27% Syrah, 19% Grenache)

Dazzling aromas of strawberry jam, dried fig, earth and crushed pepper introduce this big Rhone style blend. Mourvèdre’s flavors are prevailing and expressive unique qualities that are only heightened with the blending of Syrah and Grenache. This is a stand out wine amongst the many Sculpterra blends, especially for those who prefer light to medium bodied red wines. The palate is so clean and pure, offering a medium bodied mouthfeel and followed by a silky finish. This wine is lifted by a fresh, mineral note that displays fruity aromas that are a beautiful expression of the east side Paso Robles ripe Rhone grapes. The wine has firm yet elegant tannins, making it enjoyable now, or able to sit in your cellar through 2026.

2018 Sculpterra Figurine is our classic trademark blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Primitivo, and 12% Merlot. It opens with aromas of raspberry pie crust, black pepper, licorice candy, lilac, baked earth and ends on toasted oak. The mirage of light red fruits provided by Primitivo and the wholesome integration of dark fruits delivered by Cabernet make this blend vibrant, expressive and all around charming. Plum, cherry soda aromas, mocha and black pepper bouquets dominate on the nose, while the mouthfeel is smoothly layered and integrated with new American oak barrels. These woody spice notes carry throughout the wine’s broad palate, decorating the savory black olive, charred meat and oregano spice taste. The wine’s overall fruity taste is offset and framed by dry and polished tannins. This wine is well worth cellaring for many years to come, but do yourself a favor and try some right now! 

(50% Primitivo, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot)

This remarkable blend shows off amazingly clean red fruits matched with herbs, spice and a wonderful oaky taste. The Primitivo provides red fruit flavors while the Cabernet Sauvignon shows off hints of mint and cedar accents; the black-cherry and cherry flavors certainly come from the Merlot grapes, while medium tannins add a great ending to the wine's lengthy finish. There is earthiness too! Notes of black pepper, green olive, dried herbs and black coffee fill the mid palate. The fruit shows up again on the finish with flavors of raspberry and pomegranate, while toasted new American oak barrels provide an alluring coating taste. This wine will age very well, and should be reaching its peak by 2024.

Our 2018 Maquette showcases a lovely fusion of complex high tone red fruit flavors while centering around an herbal and earthy core. This wine combines 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Cabernet Franc, 26% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot, and was aged 18 months in French and American Oak. Bright yet supple on the palate, it contains powerful flavors of black olive, cedar wood, and peppered meats. Vibrant undertones reveal a juicer side that compliment aromas of black cherry and dark chocolate. It is full bodied and concentrated in clove and oregano spice. A touch of grilled meats and smoked BBQ Oak lingers on the finish, giving it a wonderful lasting impression. No doubt this is an age-able wine, capable of cellaring for ten or more years! I feel this wine will taste at its very best in 2026.

Sculpterra's 2019 Maquette features an estate grown blend of four Bordeaux varietal grapes. A unique flavor profile of earth and spice combine with dark fruits, mint, nuts and bittersweet chocolate. The wine is ageable and improves greatly with proper aeration where even greater bouquets can be expressed. Cabernet Franc is a big player in this blend and adds intense tannins, greatly prolonging the shelf life. The mouthfeel is framed with lovely textures, the wine opens up to cedar, black pepper, oregano, with a dusty texture and compelling structure. Upfront aromas of black currant, raspberry and licorice candy mingle around chalky dry tannins that are integrated and endure through the wine's finish. This complex and classic Cabernet blend tastes wonderful now and will improve with cellaring, tasting at it's best in 5-10 years. 

(40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Syrah & 26% Petite Sirah) 2020 Statuesque is a beautiful expression of a wild wine that is now tamed with smooth taste and charming elegance. The bold and enticing aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of blueberry, blackberry, plum, pepper and herbs. The palate carries impressive weight and volume with seemingly never-ending textures. I love that this wine is huge in flavors yet balanced throughout the expansive palate. It is certainly captivating, intriguing, and exceptionally lengthy with tannins that sing all the way through the finish. Bouquets of mocha coffee, bittersweet chocolate, cherry, and cedar are well defined. Not at all overripe, it brings a fine feel and finish of acidity and tannin.. Best to drink after 2025, but I confidently predict it will have a very long life beyond that!

(39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Syrah, and 30% Petite Sirah) 

This is a Rockstar wine! It is almost impossible to describe all the great aromas and bouquets it offers...but I’ll give it a try! The oak shines, giving whiffs of vanilla, tobacco, candied caramel, black coffee, and smoked meat. The fruit notes power their way in, giving black cherry, plum, raisin, and jolly rancher candy. Finally, the wine provides herbal and spice notes, with the taste of green olive, jalapeno poppers, green bay leaf, and rosemary. This wine will benefit from a good decanting and should reach its peak by 2029.

Be certain this wine is the most ageable wine that Sculpterra’s offers! It can age a minimum of 15 years before reaching its tasting pinnacle. I love the challenge of this bottle, the process from harvesting the grapes to filling the bottles, has taken real creative thought, and this unique wine is crafted like no other. This wine will sell out, pick one up upon release before it’s no longer available.

Massive black-fruit flavors meet colossal tannins, hefty oaky-ness and ends with a huge finish. This wine is a mouth-puckering sensation and seriously dark with red-black color and rich on the palette. It radiates with deep flavors of dark chocolate, black pepper and berry pie. Petite Sirah is the dominant player in the blend, yet Syrah and Cabernet Franc shine forth bringing weight and structure to the wine. Toasted flavors of smoke, bacon, coffee and buttered toast combine naturally with a surplus of dark fruit tone. Prune, plum, and cherry burst forth and settle in to the more peppery palette of fern, mint and dill.
