We embarked on a journey to recreate the tradition of the southern Rhône red wine blend, not in its native land, but using the diverse terroirs of California's Central Coast. The GSM(ish) blend, a harmonious combination of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, holds a special place in our hearts. It represents a bridge between the old world and the new, combining the nuanced complexity of Rhône wines with the vibrant fruit character that California vineyards offer. This quest for a perfect blend reflects our passion for crafting wines that pay homage to their roots while embracing the unique qualities of our local vineyards.
Grenache and Syrah are the main grape varieties used in Jetty, with Grenache providing a full-bodied richness bursting with fruity flavors of raspberry and strawberry, as well as a spicy kick. Syrah add s to the wine's potency with it s dark fruit flavors of cherry, complemented by savory notes of pepper, and contributing tannins, color, and body to the blend. Our 2021 vintage also features Mourvèdre, Cinsaut, and Carignan. The final blend is well-rounded and has a balanced flavor profile, embodying the essence of southern Rhône and showcasing qualities of California.
