(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. 

(48% Primitivo, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot)

2020 Figurine is a fantastic complex red wine blend, driven by amazing high-quality fruit and winemaking. Figurine, always a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Primitivo and Merlot, and this 2020 vintage leads with Primitivo as the dominant player in the blend. This energetic and fruit driven wine overflows with raspberry and cherry flavors on the front palate. Then the mid and back palate provide lush and smooth textures with an abundance of toasty accents. Though full bodied, it's equally soft in feel and leaves a dry tannic impression on the finish. Black olive and licorice candy with baking-spice bouquets float around, then a subtle sense BBQ meat and smoked sausage take over. Dark chocolate and roasted coffee flavors show up and lead to a note of lavender flower with a touch of dried pepper and herbs. This wine shows an excellent promise for long-term cellaring. It should reach its peak by the year 2028.

(36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 27% Merlot, & 9% Petit Verdot)

This 2021 Maquette screams Bordeaux at its best! The marriage of the four estate-grown Bordeaux varieties is effortlessly seamless and works magically from the first sip. Mature ripe, rich black fruits give this wine grippy textures and density. It has heavy tannins following bottling, but they will certainly smoothen out in the years to come. My favorite part of this wine is the tart taste of cherry pie and the floral notes of rose and geranium. Black-currant and chocolate strawberry flavors mix beautifully with toasted oak and cedar bouquets and finish with a sprinkling of roasted walnuts, dark cocoa, black olive, and coffee beans. Earth tones prevail on the mid and back palate, offering oregano and bay leaf flavors. This wine is built with a confident structure and ageable tannins.

(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.
