The concrete lends a touch ofminerality not often found in domesticwhites. This wine was made specificallyto raise money and awareness forOyster South, a non-profit dedicated tosupporting the advancement ofaquaculture in the south.

2021 Cambaro White Blend, Clarksburg

Blend: 42% Verdejo/ 36% Sauvignon Blanc/ 12% Pinot Gris/ 6% Chenin Blanc/ 4% Muscat Canelli

This is an incredibly fun take on an easy drinking Spanish white wine. The Muscat Canelli provides intense aromatics, with

Meyer lemon, honeysuckle, and geranium on nose. Peppermint and lime zest linger on an entry that brings to

mind sipping sprite on the beach. Grated lemon and salinity complement a body that expands horizontally and includes

fennel, citrus blossom, and Bermuda grass. Finish of grapefruit zest and stone.

2021 Cambaro Rosé, Clarksburg

Blend: 44% Tempranillo/ 22% Syrah/ 16% Primitivo/ 8% Grenache/ 7% Chenin Blanc/ 3% Muscat Canelli

This rosé of predominately Tempranillo was picked early just for making rosé, and the freshness and acidity really shine. Grapefruit rind

and gummy peaches on the nose, followed by green strawberry and watermelon soda on the mouth. Sleek and dry, the finish has a touch

of salinity to complement red fruit and white pepper.

2021 Cambaro Red, Clarksburg

Blend: 28% Nebbiolo/ 20% Primitivo/ 18% Syrah/ 12% Tempranillo/ 9% Grenache/ 7% Tereldego/ 4% Chenin Blanc/ 2% Sauvignon Blanc

Using 90% carbonic maceration, this blend is a summer red if there ever was one. Translucent ruby in color, crushed cranberry

and red jolly rancher on the nose with hints of menthol and wet earth Smells like a laffy taffy store in an old beach town. Tannin is

light as you would expect from carbonic, but the natural tannins in Nebbiolo give it more weight than you might think at first sight.

Finish has pop rocks and baseball card bubble gum, but lingers with Nebbiolo style of Marciano cherry and rose petal. Throw this

one in the fridge and drink it year round.

2020 Rebirth Old Vine Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley

We fermented these grapes with native yeasts and aged the wine for 13 months in neutral French oak. Minimal punch

downs allowed the fruit to speak for itself and keep the tannins very much in balance. With a nose of fig jam and

blueberry rolling papers, the palate gives way raspberry soda and black pepper with a finish of forest floor and

red licorice.
