Outward 2024 Sendero Luminoso Red

Sendero Luminoso, which translates to “Shining Path,” is named after an iconic rock climb in El Potrero Chico, Mexico we had the fortune of climbing a few years ago.

This wine is our play on the classic ‘GSM’ Rhône blend, but instead of Grenache, we feature Vaccarèse—one of the rarest grapes of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and a grape planted in only two vineyards in all of North America. 

Sendero brings together three distinct central coast vineyards and appellations we feel represent the diversity of terroir in the place we call home. 

The 2024 Sendero Luminoso includes select barrels of Syrah from Starfire, which we farm (60%), Vaccarèse from Old Oak (30%), and Mourvèdre from Rancho Arroyo Grande (10%). Tasting notes of blackberries, violets, bacon fat, herbs de Provence
