During the summer of 2008 hundreds of wildfires raged in California. Grapevines, like us, were affected by the hazy skies that summer. As a result, our 2008 red wines have a smoky undertone and because these wines had developed this uncharacteristic nuance, we decided to offer all 2008 Navarro produced red wines under our secondary label, Indian Creek. We saved three of the most interesting reds for this second Wildfire Offering. Two of the wines were so powerfully fruit-driven that the smoke somehow seemed less consequential. The third wine was the only wine from the vintage that we filtered using reverse osmosis to remove the smokiness. Some people like the smoke, others do not. The wines are especially suited to complement smoky dishes and the diminished price tags reflect the lightning struck vintage. Serve at cool cellar temperature.
