Charted
2021, Willow Creek AVA, Paso Robles, USA
Profile & Story
63% Syrah 22% Mourvedre 14% Grenache Fulldraw began in 2012 when Connor McMahon jumped on the opportunity to acquire a 100-acre vineyard site in the Templeton Gap of west side Paso Robles. He and Rebecca met later that year. With six years of winemaking and farming experience at adjacent property, Booker Vineyard, Connor understood that with its limestone soils and cooling maritime influences, this was a place where the Rhone varieties he loved would thrive. Connor works closely with crew members following organic and regenerative farming practices in order to best take advantage of the site's demanding soil and extreme exposures. Fulldraw aims to create a sustainable and healthy environment for each and every vine in order for the resulting fruit to translate into beautifully balanced wines that fully express the unique place that is their home. Fulldraw is our vineyard and our home. It is where we have staked our lives, the place from which we carve out our livelihood. By sharing its wines with those we know and hope to know, our intent is to inspire community, enhance people's lives, and create memories that give meaning to the time we spend together. — Connor & Rebecca McMahon
Tasting Notes
We love to drink wines from the Chauteauneuf-du-Pape region of the Southern Rhone and this wine takes its inspiration from those. Syrah adds dark fruits and beautiful texture to the pretty, old world characteristics of the whole cluster Grenache and aromatics of the Mourvedre. You've heard us say it before - it all starts in the vineyard! Charted is a map of our vineyard. The blocks highlighted in red are the ones included in this blend - these block selections will change from year to year and will be reflected on the label. If you can't read Connor's scrappy handwriting, don't worry. Sometimes he can't either...
