Winemaker Notes
Seduction, gamey, funky, kinky and savage! These are the words that enter my mind whenever I smell this wine. Throw in some black licorice, cracked black pepper and beef jerky and now you understand why I love to make Mourvèdre. On the palate this wine showcases blackberry, roasted Herbs de Provence, roasted meats and a touch of lavender. A full throttle wine!

From Paso Robles, the 2015 Twist of Fate is 100% Mourvèdre sourced from the Alta Colina Vineyard. Blueberries, strawberries, passion fruit, bay leaf, and some Northern Rhône-like bacon fat notes all flow to a juicy, elegant, yet intense red that has loads of fruit, impressive balance, and a great finish.
When Jeff Cohn was the winemaker at Rosenblum Cellars, annually he crafted more than 70 different wines. Today, at his Oakland-based warehouse winery, the irrepressible vintner now limits himself to a mere 21 bottlings, focusing on Rhône varietals. Cohn's longtime relationships with some of California's top growers and vineyards enable him to source some of the state’s finest fruit, including Rockpile in Sonoma County, Fess Parker in Santa Barbara County and Stagecoach in Napa.
All JC Cellars wines are fermented in open top fermenting vessels that range in size from a half ton to eight tons, where each bin is hand punched down five times per day. This time-consuming procedure allows maximum exposure of skins to juice, intensifying the flavor of the fruit while handling it as gently as possible.
