Amevive Santa Barbara County 'Nothing but love' 2023

From the winemaker, Alice:

50% Gamay, 50% Syrah, 100% love
Syrah and Gamay really complement each other. Their stemmy structure meets juiciness makes the perfect prospect for a ØØ wine. For me, the magnum opus of winemaking is to make a wine that is incredibly ageworthy, grown with the utmost intentions, and is made without the addition of anything, including sulfur. That is the impetus for this wine. Nothingbutlove is exactly that. This wine is made without the addition of anything, including sulfur. Except for love, there was a whole lot of love added in the cellar!

This is one of my favorite wines. The perfect balance of energy, red fruit and balanced tannin. Enough structure to take you through a steak dinner, yet enough juice to sip her solo. Either way you enjoy, there is certainly enough energy to keep you lively at the end of the night.
