Two Wolves is the wine project of Alecia Moore, grown on her organic certified vineyard in Santa Barbara County in California's central coast. Alecia bought the vineyard in 2013 and added new plantings to the Two Wolves site (planted in 2005 and 2010) in 2015. That same year, she planted another site on the property - Right Left vineyard - and recruited California-born winemaker Alison Thomson to make the wines alongside her. This was always conceived as an immersive, hands-on project from the curious, committed and intrepid Alecia – and she was only ever going to have another superwoman at her side, which she found in Alison. 

Fruit from Two Wolves Vineyard’s Block 9. North-south planted rows planted in 2010 to Clone 623 on Rootstock 101-14 on Positas fine sandy loam with clay. 

Tasting Note:
Utilising native yeasts and hand harvested fruit, it was destemmed and fermented in a French oak foudres, with 25% whole bunches fermented in stainless-steel tanks. Both lots were matured in French oak (30% new) before blending and bottling. The resulting wine is super bright with notes of cherry and raspberry on the nose followed by spices and leather. Balanced and bright in the mouth with lots of fine, but grippy tannin, punctuated with lively acidity this is clearly new world Cabernet Franc, but made so wonderfully well.
