Âmevive Estate Cariño - Ibarra-Young Vineyard 2025

Country: USA

Region: Santa Barbara County

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Syrah/Mourvedre/Marsanne

Âmevive Winery is the soulful creation of Alice Anderson and her partner Topher de Felice and is based in Santa Barbara County. Âmevive started as a fusion of Northern Rhone classics and has grown to include some Spanish varieties, all made with a new age playfulness. The wines are made minimally without any additions other than minimal sulfur. They are bottled unfined and unfiltered and are made with the intent to bridge the gap between a natural wine and a more classic wine palate.

Périphérie is a fresh but serious co-fermented expression of Ibarra-Young Vineyard, encompassing all three of the original blocks on the property. You can see glimpses of all three varieties in this wine. Delicate yet fairly formal. Delightfully purple and mouth-wateringly red. The 2025 Périphérie is refined and crushable - but n a fancy way.
