A blend of 40% Grenache, 38% Carignan, and 22% Syrah, crafted by Hobo Wine Co.'s Kenny Likitprakong under his Folk Machine label. A high-energy, "bistro-style" California red blend, gulpable and unpretentious, marking the fourth vintage where Grenache has dominated the blend. Sourced from Mangels Ranch in Suisun Valley, Cedar Lane in Arroyo Seco, Waddington Ranch in Mendocino, plus fruit from Lolonis, Maria Martinson, and Castañon in Mendocino, with Syrah from Vecino in Potter Valley. The blend was made immediately after harvest with native yeast, using significant whole cluster and carbonic maceration, then aged in a combination of French oak foudres and stainless steel tanks.
