Scotty Boy! "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?" Santa Barbara County 2020
- In stock, ready to ship
Direct Press Selection | March 2022
[PRESS 4 MIX • PRESS 4 WHITE]
Scotty-Boy! is a project in Santa Barbara from a wine making team who spent many years making buttoned up, classic-leaning wines. With Scotty-Boy! They’re tossing that idea into the trash and basically lighting it on fire. As they put it, Scotty-Boy’s mission is “to offer wine in its purest most unadulterated form: wild, alive, mostly savage, and ready to slurp.” Honestly, their words are so perfectly representative, I really don’t need to use many of my own here – I’d only be muting their vision. Their site is loaded with radical one-liners describing their vin de soif-style wines as being “less judgy and more chuggy” and “patio pounders.” Despite their “nothing added/nothing taken away” operative mantra, they use the expertise developed from years of operating in a more serious style. Wild, alive, savage? Yeah, totally – but with intention and finesse.
I think it’s worth underlining “alive” a couple dozen times for this 2020 Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. 65% Grenache Noir and 35% Grenache Blanc that ends up as a kind of rosé, the wine goes through full carbonic maceration and spends 18 days on the skins before press. At this point, I probably don’t need to say that there’s no added S02 here. This fizzy, hazy juice-bomb will have you dreaming of summer afternoons and dry aged burgers. Its fresh orangey nose is almost negroni-like with a lip-smacking palate of sparkling pomegranate-hibiscus tea with an orange twist.
Chill it, pop it, and hang f***ing loose, dude. [Cara Conaboy, March 2022]
