Stagiaire Wine Cheeky Bisous, in the words of winemaker Brent Mayeaux, is "Strawberries and strawberry jam. Watermelon candy. Touch of spices like clove and cinnamon. These bright flavors are balanced with just enough bitterness to lengthen the wine and keep it from being one of those gorgeous. Chaparral. Lavender. Dandelion root. A first date. Maybe it's the first one you've been on in a while. It's going well, and you are already visualizing the rest of your life with this person. You tell yourself to calm down even though you don't want to. This is the only red wine from 2022 that I feel okay releasing. The others will all be in a much better place at the end of the year. I'm sure this one will, too, but it is perfectly charming as it is now. I encourage holding a bottle for 6-12 more months if you are as enamored by it as I currently am."

The Wine: Cheeky Bisous 2022

Stagiaire Wine Cheeky Bisous in the words of winemaker Brent Mayeaux: "Adding this wine onto the release late. I just drank a bottle yesterday and it was stunning. I had been thinking it might need more time post-bottling to come together, but it refocused in record time. Merlot farmed by my bestie David on Sonoma Mountain. Fruit that was worked with by Nic and Tony Coturri for years. Short maceration and free run early. Sauvignon from Lolonis planted in the 40s in Redwood Valley. Healthy botrytis and opulent fruit. It's about 80/20 Merlot/SB. The Savvy adds a bit of fruit and flesh and rounds out nicely was a powerful, if not a bit austere, very light red. Chillable lazerbeam jolly rancher red. Yall are gonna love this."
