Until the End Ancient Bloodline Red Blend Napa Valley 2019

Hailing from South Florida, Kyle Gellis started a successful boutique cigar business at the age of just 18. Warped Cigars, established in 2007 in Miami, FL is known for producing hyper-limited, unique, Cuban-inspired cigars. Hand-rolled a few hundred at a time, each cigar is personally blended by Kyle to bring sensory components into harmonious balance. When Kyle first came to Napa Valley, he was seeking agricultural wisdom. Familiar with the farming of tobacco and its importance to the individuality of a cigar, he wondered if grape growing would hold the key to his next venture in life. He quickly discovered the importance of specific farming practices and soil types while gaining a new appreciation for mother nature’s gifts and wrath. Ultimately, Kyle gravitated to the work in the cellar as opposed to the vineyards, and with this freshly lit fire, the vintner within emerged. The blending skills that led to his early success in the cigar world would translate to winemaking in ways he did not imagine. In his own words, “Blending components together to craft an experience for the enjoyment of others is my life's purpose.” With such vision and attention to detail, it’s no surprise Kyle has ended up a competitive producer in our wine world.

"We are pleased to introduce 'Ancient Bloodline'. An ode to the time of man and beast together as warriors. A perfect symphony of our 2019 Las Posadas Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Las Madres Vineyard Syrah. This unlikely pair comes together in harmony. Our Cabernet Sauvignon brings notes of blackberries and crushed black currants with notes of warm baking spices, crushed gravel and tar. The Syrah brings in beautiful blue fruit, crushed violets, licorice and smoked game. The two varietals are a perfect marriage of power with tannins that dance on the palate and the strength to carry on for the long haul. " - Notes from Kyle Gellis. ONLY 45 BOTTLES PRODUCED!
