2022 The Folk Machine Parts & Labor

REGION

Crafted in the heart of Sonoma County, California, this wine is a
product of Folk Machine, a winery known for its unconventional
approach and commitment to quality. The grapes are sourced from
a mix of vineyards across Cali, exhibiting the state's diverse terroir.

VARIETAL

The 2022 Parts & Labor is a blend of Grenache, Carignane, and
Syrah. Each varietal brings its own personality to the party:
Grenache contributes bright fruit and spice,
Carignane adds structure, and some sous bois earthy notes,

while Syrah provides a touch of pepper.

NOSE

Ripe red berries, like raspberry and tart cherry, rise from the glass.
These are mixed with notes of black pepper, dried herbs, and a

hint of violets. A subtle earthiness intrigues...

PALATE

Juicy and vibrant, the 2022 Parts & Labor delights the palate with
flavors of red fruit, plum, and spice. The tannins are soft and
approachable, while a refreshing and bright acidity keeps the wine
lively and balanced. The lasting finish invites another sip.

WINEMAKING NOTES

The Folk Machine employs a hands-off approach, allowing the
grapes to shine. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, and a
portion of the grapes undergo carbonic maceration, a technique
that enhances the wine's fruitiness and freshness. The wine is aged
in a combination of French oak foudres and stainless steel tanks, 

adding complexity and texture.

This wine is bottled evidence of California's beautifully diverse
vineyards. Enjoy it slightly chilled with grilled meats, hearty stews,
or on its own, as you like it. Parts & Labor can play many parts.
