✨ Technical Specifications
The Whole Shebang is winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson MW's tribute to the historic, everyday red blends of California's golden viticultural past. As a multi-vintage cuvée, the Thirteenth Cuvee is masterfully assembled from old-vine parcels across California, dominated by Zinfandel and supported by classic heritage varieties such as Carignan, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, and Alicante Bouschet. This approach mimics the traditional field blends planted by 19th-century immigrant farmers. The wine is crafted to deliver immediate pleasure, combining the depth and soul of ancient vines with the bright, juicy energy of younger components, resulting in a complex, spice-inflected, and highly drinkable red.
