Let's help you find your taste for things. Answer these four simple questions and you'll be well on your way.
As you can tell we only make this wine when the time is right and the 2013 Vintage was it. The 2013 vintage in Napa Valley was another stellar year. The wine is bright, balanced and smooth. The warm and dry spring provided ideal weather and growing conditions for the 2013 vintage.
In Napa, cabernet is king. So it didn't come as a surprise to hear the Uproot faithful clamoring for more. But they didn't want just any old cabernet, they wanted the biggest, baddest cab in the Valley. At Uproot we said, "Bring it on!" and went on a hunt to find the best fruit in Napa. We crossed our fingers for the perfect weather. And we barreled this bad boy 8 months longer than ever before. What we got can only be described as our Pièce de Résistance. Oh, and did we mention we received a 90 point rating from Wine Spectator. Not too shabby for the new kids on the block.
When we first started doing Grenache in 2012, it was so uncommon in Napa that the welcome committee was undecided. Then it promptly became our bestseller and for good reason. Enter the 2013 with some extra oomph in color and spicy character, plus prominent berries and a confectionery sweetness to complement the smokiness. You’ve heard of gateway drugs? This lighter-style red is an excellent gateway red for white lovers. We were never too worried about the approval of any committee, but we’re pretty sure they’ll be busting out the warm welcome for this one.
Our 2017 Grenache Blanc comes from a new source, Paragon Vineyards in the Edna Valley. It is located in San Luis Obispo, 90 minutes north of Santa Barbara.The vineyard was planted in 2005 and is just over 5 miles west of the PacificOcean. The soil is a mixture of volcanic, clay loam, and rocky marine sediment. The temperate climate allows for a long growing season while the lack of nutrients in the soils cause the vines to stress as they grow. Don’t worry that is a good thing.
It's back! The 2016 Uproot Rose, dry with a refreshing mix of sour and sweet fruit. This lively Rosé keeps the summer vibes going well past the time the sun goes down. If Grenache is our gateway wine, this is our getaway wine, enjoyed best with sand between the toes and charcoal on the grill.
2019 Uproot Grenache Rosé
It’s ok to celebrate the little things in life, like the release of our brand new 2019 Grenache Rosé from Monterey, CA. It is a perfectly refreshing wine for the beach, backyard or wherever life takes you. Enjoy it throughout the summer and well into the winter months. It was aged 8 months in stainless steel barrels before being bottled. We only produced 65 cases of this delicious Rose, so make sure to get yours while supplies last!
They said it couldn't be done. How could we possibly top 2012? It wasn't easy, but a frost-free winter accompanied by warm summer temperatures brought fruit that could best be described as: Early, even, and excellent. Our bright and balanced 2013 Sauv Blanc has staked its claim as the leader in the Uproot arsenal. A golden vintage for this Golden State wine.
