Amevive Red Wine RAVIE 2025

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“The 2025 Ravie is 62% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre and 15% Syrah. It's another crushworthy red from Alice Anderson. This tastes like Beaujolais meets California, balancing crunchy red fruit and floral tones against a nip of pepperiness and velvety textures. Everything about this speaks to utter drinkability, but there's no shortage of seriousness. Drink with an extra chill to heighten the wine's natural freshness.” - 91-93 PTS., BILLY NORRIS, VINOUS MEDIA (09/2026)

WINERY NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Ravie is a blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from Alisos Canyon and Los Olivos District, and Syrah from Ibarra-Young Vineyard. A fun and probably atypical expression of a Santa Barbara County GSM. The word ‘ravie’ translates to the feminine version of ‘delighted’ in French. I giggle a little reminiscing on learning French during my time in France. I learned a very rustic version of French while working in the countryside and when I would go down to the south of France to visit my friends and chat with them, or worse, their parents, they would completely cringe at the inappropriate French I would confidently say in my silly American accent. Anyway, they tried their best to present me with a more polite vocabulary. This wine is an ode to all of the good laughs we’ve had together while speaking each other's native tongues.”
