Newfound, Gravels California Red Wine, 2022
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Newfound is a small, fiercely independent California winery built around old-vine sites, organic farming, and a hands-off approach in the cellar. Gravels is their tribute to rugged, rock-strewn terroirs, blending Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah from vineyard parcels where deep-rooted vines thrive in stony, well-drained soils. The 2022 vintage, shaped by warm, dry conditions, showcases purity and energy—a wine that’s as fresh as it is grounded.
Each grape plays its part: Carignan provides structure and a hint of rusticity, Grenache brings lifted aromatics and juicy fruit, while Syrah adds depth and spice. This isn’t a typical plush California red—it’s layered and restrained, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a mineral backbone that keeps it lean and focused. Less about sheer power, more about transparency and sense of place, Gravels is a wine that evolves beautifully in the glass.
A perfect companion for wood-fired fare—grilled lamb, charred eggplant, or mushroom dishes—this is a wine that bridges old-world soul with new-world vibrancy. Enjoy it now with a slight chill, or let it unwind over the next five years.
