The Winds of Change cuvee is, quite simply, Desire Lines captured in one bottle. The wine is an ode to California’s cool and windy places, where some of the Rassmussen's favorite varieties take on new life–Syrah becomes lithe and perfumed, Carignan becomes vibrant and rich, and Mourvèdre smells like a strawberry pie cooling on the windowsill on a sultry summer night. It’s a blend of freshness, concentration, and fruit-forward nature along with a solid backbone of minerality. Though it will age gracefully, the wine is drinking well now especially with a bit of air time.
