A Cali Côtes du Rhône With Major Bojo Vibes

Iruai’s Bloom Phase Red is a nod to wines of the Southern Rhône, done in an easy-breezy style. A mixture of 40% Grenache, 40% Pinot Gris whole cluster fermented, coupled with 18% Syrah, and 2% Muscat for added floral qualities. Sourced from California and Oregon’s rising star AVA, the Rogue Valley.

Iruai was started in 2013 by Chad and Michelle Westbrook Hinds - formerly of Methode Sauvage - in Berkeley, CA as a gypsy natural wine project, before settling in the Shasta-Cascade Mountains.
They use avant garde vineyard planting and rehabilitation techniques from Masanobu Fukoka and some ideas of their own.
Chad and Michelle describe the unique terroir of Western Siskiyou County as a cross between Switzerland and Montana; lending their wines an alpine vibe.
The Rogue Valley AVA is considered the “next big AVA” in Oregon and is the warmest and driest region of Oregon.
