08 ECIPS
For the second year in a row, ECIPS is all about ARIZONA spice. We begin by setting aside the spiciest Arizona grown wines from each of the batches in the cellar. We then look to harmonize these components with the goal of creating a complex, somewhat austere, ageable wine, reminiscent of great Southern French blends. This blend is so tasty that one of our Wine Club members suggested the purported acronym read “Enjoy’ Cause It’s Practically Sex.” Possibly you’ll agree …
