Launching in hard times

Seeing difficult times ahead for independent wineries, we decided to step up and do what we could to help. So we’re launching early with 100% of sales going directly to our producers. This meant keeping things simple and focusing only on what was most important. So stay tuned. Additional features and content will be coming out soon!

Youth of the Beast Carignan - 2019
Back to top
Juicy with a red-fruited zing that takes us back to the beaches of our youth, hunting for beach plums in the dunes.

Carignan is one of our favorite grapes, and Blue Ox’s — light-bodied with mellow tannins — would make a great primer. The grapes come from the organic, dry-farmed Ricetti Vineyard in Mendocino on Redwood Valley’s eastern bench. Josh and Noah ferment the wine using a semi-carbonic method which makes the wine fun and approachable — a red with the rebellious spirit of a rosé.
