Amista 2022 Tres
Co-Founder Mike Farrow's FAVORITE Wine!
Our 2022 Tres blend is always such fun to put together and just as much fun to drink! This vintage showcases each of the varietals quite well. The spice notes and dried orange peel on the nose comes from the Grenache. There is a layer of black cherry and crushed violets from the Syrah and some high toned red fruit from the Mourvedre. The palate is earth toned and spicy on the front with big but well-integrated tannins on the mid-palate to finish. This is a great wine to pair with food and will only get more complex and nuanced over the next few years of drinking!

Vineyard Notes
2022 was another quite warm vintage. We had extremely low rainfall over the winter and spring, which caused for a very small crop. Some frost and hail hit us in April, which further reduced the crop. A very warm summer led to an early harvest as well. However, because of the incredibly low yield, flavors are heightened and absolutely delicious from this vintage.
Production Notes
This wine is a blend of equal parts of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
Winemaker Notes
Every year, our Tres is one of my favorite blends to put together. Each varietal is picked, fermented, and vinified separately and blended together only just before bottling. This allows each wine to evolve individually so they can lend a unique component to the blend.
