IRUAI Bloom Phase

"Iruai Bloom Phase is a dynamic, adventure-driven red wine from Iruai Winery, rooted in the rugged Shasta-Cascade mountains of Northern California. This blend—typically featuring 50% Grenache, 30% Gamay, and 20% Pinot Gris from Oregon’s Applegate Valley—embraces a natural, hands-off approach with whole-cluster fermentation and skin-contact Pinot Gris. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it delivers a fresh, zesty profile with a tropical, peppery nose, bursting with crunchy blue fruits, blood orange, and hints of rose petals. Light-bodied and versatile, it’s a California twist on the high-toned Southern Rhône reds, offering a smooth, satisfying finish. Chill it, sip it as an orange wine, or enjoy it as a dark rosé—Bloom Phase is your choose-your-own-adventure pour, perfect for pairing with everything from steak to peach and mozzarella salad."
