Beyond the label

California might be best known for Cabernet and Chardonnay, but they’re not the only grape varieties that thrive in the Golden State. Innovative winemakers have been experimenting with exciting, lesser-known grapes for decades...with downright fabulous results, as you’ll taste here.

Showcasing the Tannat grape (a relative rarity in California), Left of Ordinary is a deliciously full-flavored red. The grapes hail from Lodi, “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). Even better, they come from a family-run estate that practices sustainable farming.

It's already scooped up acclaim, including a gold medal and Best of Class trophy at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Wine writer Mike Dunne shared this note at the competition: “Tannat can be imposing, but not here. The Left of Ordinary is just that, a Tannat of both heft and melody, inky in color, substantial in body, concentrated in flavor, yet it carries all that freight across the palate with dance-like moves.”

Look forward to intriguing, ripe dark-fruit flavors and a touch of oak spice. Its firm, structured tannins will suit an equally bold food pairing—think roasted red meats, barbecue dishes or hearty pastas.

Break from the ordinary and treat yourself to this rare California Tannat today.
