A rarity in California, the 2025 Cachudo Arinto La Marea Pierce Ranch is a celebration of Arinto, a grape that handles heat and heavier soils well and can carry crisp acidity through the extreme heat. Winemaker Ian Brand makes the case here for its deliciousness too, the third vintage from Pierce Ranch, both barrel and stainless-fermented for eight months on the lees. Delicious in slatey pear and a lightness of spice, drink now through 2035.
