Grapefiti”Vote for Pedro.”Napoleon Dynamite Give a bunch of kids spray paint and a blank wall—you’ll get graffiti. Give a bunch of winemakers and a wine-loving bottling crew a collection of red wines to blend—you’ll get Grapefiti. It’s an absolutely unique representation of terroir, variety, and style. We couldn’t recreate it if we tried. Our February, 2010 bottling crew created this blend from some odds and ends of wines that were bottled that day. We were impressed from the start with how easy it was to drink—the perfect wine for any casual situation. Aromas are oriented toward berries—blue and blackberries, in particular—and lead on the palate with contributions from a black cherry or two. Tannins are firm but not dry and finish with mocha and a little spice. There’s plenty of weight, so this wine can take on your heartiest pizza without breaking a sweat. So, what’s the Grapefiti label all about? At the end of the blend, we asked all the participants to leave some of their own graffiti on the label’s “wall”—except for Chompers, of course, who wasn’t available to leave her own paw print (our favorite Daschihuahua) and had her staff take care of it (she has people for her Facebook page, too). More that’s one-of-a-kind about the wine, and a great memory of a great crew. Thanks, guys!
