Peachy Canyon The Odd One

Directly on opening it was very smooth and rather fruit forward (in a good way if you like that). Lots of raspberry with back notes of blueberry and a hint of tobacco. Light tannins and lingers nicely on the palate. As it opens up the fruit bomb tendencies diminish and the profile tends towards blackberry and darker fruits with maybe some licorice.

I love to simmer beans on the stove. I simmer the beans in our own vegetable broth, olive oil, onion, garlic, leek, hatch chili, red pepper, celery, green onion, a bit of chopped parsley and kale. I toss in a few fresh sage leaves and thyme. Pepper and salt. Mostly I just wait. I’m ok with waiting if I have a nice wine. So today I opened up a bottle of Peachy Canyon’s 2019 The Odd One. The blend is …

Bold and fruit forward. 61% Zinfandel, 16% Syrah, 16% Carignan, 5% Mourvèdre and 2% Petite Sirah
