77% Grenache 12% Syrah 11% Mourvedre

The long, cool growing season resulted in the best vintage for all of our Grenache vineyard blocks in 20 years. Moderate and dry weather in September and October extended the fruit ripening "hang time" giving us dark and structured Grenache with intense fruit. Syrah and Mourvedre add a dimension of complexity and structure reminiscent of our favorite Gigondas in the Southern Rhone. If you are an Unti Grenache fan, the 2023 is a must have, as it will easily age well for the next 4 to 7 years.

100% Syrah

Our 2023 PF is 100% Syrah from a combination of 4 separate vineyard blocks. It is very reminiscent of our first Petit Frere in 2002, which is remarkably alive today. The long cool growing season was followed by dry moderate harvest weather resulting in extended "hang time" for the fruit, which rendered darker color, more intense fruit and great tannins structure. 2023 is already being heralded as one of the great vintages in the past 20 years. Not surprisingly this 2023 is off the charts - one to drink every day and for many years to come, as it has the structure to age well for the next 5-6 years.

95% Barbera, 5% Sangiovese

Unti fans know that Rosso del Campo translates into "pizza wine" at a fantastic price.  The 2023 is the quintessential version, as it is from our most fruit forward lots of Barbera. As with all our 2023 reds, there is a persistent presence of lively fruit and acidity. It is a perfect wine for the summer, one you can serve with a slight chill while enjoying global warming outdoors. Warning: this wine always sells out quickly.

Our 2024 Rosé is 100% Grenache Noir from 32 year-old vines. The clones are Alban and Tablas Creek, which are originally from Chateauneuf Du Pape. In 2024, we experienced some early September heat, which really amplified the fruit and richness of our Grenache. Right from the fermenter, wiinemaker Jason Valenti has advicated that this is the best Grenache rosé he has ever made, and after several blending trials with our Mourvedre rosé, he was right! This vintage is slightly darker with intense fruit, texture and spicy complexity. It is a pristine example of why Unti is known as THE source for Provencal rosé in California. - MU

The 2024 vintage is precisely why Vermentino is such a great grape for California. An early September heat wave resulted in  expressive fruit without losing the vibrant natural acidity that has become a hallmark of our Vermentino. We now have almost 4 acres of Vermentino planted to 3 clones from Provence and Liguria. The Ligurian clones, planted in 2018 are contributing body and complexity, while the original Provencal clone offers exotic fruit. Fermented and aged in stainless steel and concrete tanks, this is a serious Vermentino that will compete with the worlds' best renditions from any country. - MU
