The Set Wines Red Table Wine
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Red Table Wine is a vibrant, medium-bodied California blend crafted by The Set Wines with fruit sourced from the Sta. Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County.
- A unique mix of Gamay (which brings bright, bouncy red fruit) and Syrah (which provides bold, peppery depth and structure).
- Farmed organically with minimal intervention, this sustainable winemaking draws inspiration from the vineyard setting and terroir.
Varietal Composition: Gamay, Syrah
Elaboration: This vintage is a blend of Gamay and Syrah, aged in neutral French oak—Gamay in 228-liter barrels and Syrah in 500-liter barrels. Both were fermented with whole clusters in a concrete tank using indigenous yeast, with light extraction from the skins over 12 days.
Tasting Notes: Bold and spicy with tannins that mean business, fresh, with no over-extraction. Perfect for game, red meat, or anything cooked over an open flame.
