This Central Coast red blend Day Dreaming is a tribute to Aretha Franklin that knows how to hit all the right emotional notes. Crafted by scientist-turned-winemaker Kristie Tacey right across the bay in Berkeley, this is a sustainably-farmed, soulful expression with real character. It’s composed of cofermented Grenache Noir (whole cluster), Pinot Noir (partial) and Gamay (destemmed), offering unexpected complexity and beguiling charm.
In the glass, it’s a deep ruby glow with aromas that go between candy and elegance—think fruit punch, black cherry, violets, ripe raspberry, and hibiscus. Medium-bodied and balanced, it’s mellow yet textured, finishing with ample tannins that give it structure but never weigh it down.
Chill it lightly for summer sipping or enjoy it at room temperature with grilled lamb, barbecue, charcuterie, or with slow, smooth tunes—the kind of wine that’s a one-way ticket to good vibes.
