Ravie is a blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from Alisos Canyon and Los Olivos District, and Syrah from Ibarra-Young Vineyard. A fun and probably atypical expression of a Santa Barbara County GSM. The word ‘ravie’ translates to the feminine version of ‘delighted’ in French. I giggle a little reminiscing on learning French during my time in France. I learned a very rustic version of French while working in the countryside and when I would go down to the south of France to visit my friends and chat with them, or worse, their parents, they would completely cringe at the inappropriate French I would confidently say in my silly American accent. Anyway, they tried their best to present me with a more polite vocabulary. This wine is an ode to all of the good laughs we’ve had together while speaking each other's native tongues.

More Info

Each component of Ravie was harvested and fermented separately, with varying percentages of whole cluster. All ferments were pressed gently and aged individually in neutral French oak before being blended together about a month prior to bottling. The final blend rested in tank for the 11th month in elevage and the final wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered in August 2026. The final blend is 62% Grenache, 23% Mourvèdre, and 15% Syrah and 41% whole cluster.

Tasting Notes

Loads of strawberry, fruit punch and pepper. She’s the texture of tying a knot out of a cherry stem. She is hiking in the woods on a hot day with a picnic of freshly cut red fruits in your cooler. Delightfully balanced and full of character, truly, a people pleaser. This wine will go anywhere and everywhere.

  • about the label

    The fairly unrealistic, yet charming, representation of Calypte anna perched on a vine was painted by my mom, Eileen Anderson. Although Anna’s hummingbirds are quite common around coastal California, they are hard to spot! Partly because the females are way less flashy than this stud of a guy on the front of the Ravie label, but also because they need a good variety of flowers to feed on and nest around. Anna’s hummingbirds are also known for munching on leafhoppers, so if you plant manzanita, currant, and flowering chaparral around your vineyard rows, it could be a happy combination for your vines too! The painting on the back label depicts a variety of native flowers painted by me. Clarkia, tidy tips, fiddleneck, and the mariposa poppy are all fairly common flowers found in the Santa Ynez watershed.
