Just as a Point Break wave channels ocean energy into a powerful, singular path, this blend harmonizes diverse varietal influences into a beautifully integrated wine. With a focus on taste over tradition, Longboard Vineyards celebrates individuality and creativity, bottling a wine that’s as bold and adventurous as California itself. Perfect for those who savor an inspired, seamless blend that delivers enjoyment, time after time.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Longboard Vineyards Point Break opens with deep aromas of blackberry, black currant, and hints of cherry, layered with subtle notes of cola, leather, and warm spices.The palate is rich and velvety, with firm yet approachable tannins leading to a smooth, lingering finish. A touch of vanilla from the Grenache adds balance and warmth, making this blend both complex and inviting. Perfect with hearty dishes, this wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, barbecue ribs, or a rich mushroom risotto. For cheese lovers, try it with aged Gouda or a smoky blue cheese to complement the wine’s bold character.
