Folk Machine Parts & Labor 2024

The 2023 Folk Machine Parts & Labor drinks like a love letter to California’s scruffier, sunlit corners — a blend built from forgotten blocks and working-class vineyards, stitched together with intention rather than polish. It opens with crushed red berries, wild strawberry, and tart cherry, edged by dried herbs, citrus peel, and a faint dusting of earth. The palate is light on its feet but not slight, carrying juicy acidity, a subtle savory twang, and just enough grip to keep it honest. Fresh, soulful, and quietly complex, this is a wine that favors conversation over ceremony — endlessly drinkable, but never anonymous.
