パソ・ロブレスのエリアで昔から愛され続けるローヌ系品種のワインの影響を受けて5品種のブレンドを造りました。ワインのバックボーンであるシラーが､果実の風味豊かなスタイルとフルボディを造り出し、プティ･シラーが深いルビー色を与えています｡グルナッシュの鮮やかな赤い果実の甘い風味が､ムールヴェードルの素朴で生き生きした風味と混ざり合い､そこにジンファンデルが特徴的な力強さを加えました。ヴィンテージもブレンド。15～27か月フレンチ&アメリカンオーク（70%は新樽）で熟成。熟 したサクランボ､ドライプラム､セイボリー､セージの力強い芳香｡口に含むと､まずブラックカラントの風味の巧妙さ､甘いオークとエスプレッソの微かな風味、味わいの中盤以降は柔らかですがしっかりしたタンニンが贅沢に長く続きます｡
シラー 49%、グルナッシュ 26%、ムールヴェードル 15%、プティシラー6%、ジンファンデル4%

Lusciously rich in color and texture, the Troublemaker Red Blend is a beautiful wine with aromas of dark fruit, black pepper and a hint of asphalt. On the pallet, sweet vanilla, black berry cobbler, fresh currant and our signature splash of acidity create a lingering flavor that is finished with smooth & silky tannins.
Vineyard Notes: The grapes for Troublemaker are sourced from key vineyard sites throughout the Central Coast, adding to the complexity of the blend. The warm climate of Paso Robles – specifically Estrella, and El Pomar Districts provides much of the Syrah and Petite Sirah to the blend, adding body, depth, and color to the wine. Other Central Coast vineyard sites were chosen for their unique characteristics, including Grenache and Mourvedre from the Arroyo Grande Valley, and Syrah from Edna Valley ultimately leading to a more complex blend.
Winemaker Notes: The grapes were harvested, crushed, then cold-soaked prior to fermentation, we utilize both small open top and pump over fermenters, as we ferment all varietals separately for 7 to 14 days. Wines were aged in oak between 12-20 months, depending on the vintage. All barrel aging was done in French and American oak barrels, 55% of which were new. Blend 14 was assembled in January of 2021 and was cross-flow filtered prior to bottling in late February of 2021.
