Unsanctioned

2015 Arizona 25% Petite Sirah (buhl memorial vineyard), 25% Petite Sirah (rolling view vineyard), 50% Sangiovese (buhl memorial vineyard)

Oddity Wine Collective's Unsanctioned blends the robust intensity of Petite Sirah from both Buhl Memorial Vineyard and Rolling View Vineyard with the vibrant character of Sangiovese from Buhl Memorial Vineyard, creating a captivating red wine that beautifully represents Arizona's unique terroir. This vintage from 2015 showcases a full-bodied profile, offering a delightful mouthfeel complemented by high acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring layers of dark berries and cherry, underscored by notable tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the wine's natural elegance. A dry finish leaves a memorable impression, making it an excellent choice for food pairing or enjoying on its own. This wine not only reflects the winemaker's artistry but also highlights the potential of Arizona as an emerging winegrowing region.

Region:


Arizona

Arizona is an emerging and diverse winegrowing region in the southwestern United States. Spanning high desert plateaus and rugged mountains, Arizona's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) showcase a wide array of terroir. The high elevation and arid climate play a major role in shaping Arizona's vineyards, with cool nights and warm days allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The diverse soils, ranging from volcanic to sandy loam, contribute to the unique character of Arizona's wines. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the higher elevations, while further down, richer, bolder wines are produced. Arizona's growing wine industry is gaining recognition for its distinctive and high-quality wines that reflect the unique environmental conditions of the region.
