2018 Two Wolves Group Song

Two Wolves

USA / Santa Ynez Valley / Two Wolves

44% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cabernet Franc, 7% Syrah. This blend is an expression of several parts of our organically farmed vineyard, coming together in a way that makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
Each component for this blend was vinified individually, using a variety of techniques. The Merlot was destemmed and fermented in an open top tank, and Cab Sauv in a 600L rotary barrel and open top tank. The Cab Franc was placed in a cement tank, and the Syrah was fermented 100% whole cluster. All ferments were carried out by native yeast, and after pressing the wines were aged in French oak before being blended and bottled in the summer of 2020. Alcohol 14.6%.
The melody is Merlot, with harmonies from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, and a bit of Syrah. Notes of plum, smoke, cola, Chinese 5-spice, orange, cedar, mushroom, and earth. Complex, balanced, with fine tannins. This is a very food-friendly wine, pairable with almost anything depending on your mood. – Alecia Moore

About Two Wolves

Two Wolves is the wine project of Alecia Moore, grown on her organic-certified vineyard in Santa Barbara County in California's central coast. Alecia - better known by her stage name, Pink - bought the vineyard in 2013 and added new plantings to the Two Wolves site (planted in 2005 and 2010) in 2015. That same year, she planted another site on the property - Right Left vineyard - and recruited California-born winemaker Alison Thomson to make the wines alongside her. This was always conceived as an immersive, hands-on project from the curious, committed and intrepid Alecia – and she was only ever going to have another superwoman at her side, which she found in Alison. Australia, the country where Alicia first fell in love with wine, became the first export market for Two Wolves when CellarHand brought in a suite of wines from the 2018 vintage in mid-2022.

About

Alecia Moore's interest in wine began when touring Australia as on-stage alter ego Pink in the early 2000s. In the latter half of the decade she undertook studies through WSET and UCLA to take her knowledge up a level, and in 2013 she took the step of buying a vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. The other half of this dynamic duo is Alison Thomson, who grew up in the Bay Area and studied viticulture at UC Davis after undergraduate studies in biology and restorative ecology. She has run numerous projects in the Santa Ynez Valley and has her own label, L.A. Lepiane, focusing on Italian varieties. She joined the garagiste operation that is Two Wolves in 2015, and in lockstep with Alecia crafts ripe, fresh, expressive wines from the certified-organic estate vineyards.
