My guest this week is Adobe Road winemaker Garrett Martin.

Adobe Road Winery, founded by championship racer Kevin Buckler and his wife Debra, produces “The Racing Series,” a collection of ultra-premium California red blends inspired by motorsports.

Adobe Road winemaker Garrett Martin will tell you that winemaking is all about the journey of raw ingredients transforming into something greater. His goal is to allow the wine to express its own personality through his artisan skill and winemaking techniques. His creativity, focus, and smart use of the best technology available, serve him well while working in relationship with the close-knit community of growers, coopers, and other colleagues.

Adobe Road Winery “The Racing Series”

Over the next 10 years he honed his winemaking skills at a variety of cellars in Sonoma and up and down the Napa Valley. When the opportunity at Adobe Road presented itself in 2015, Garrett jumped at the chance to create world-class wines in his hometown and to be part of something really special with the new Adobe Road winery project a key component of the revitalization of the historic Petaluma riverfront.  Follow the winery on Facebook.

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
Adobe “Road Racing Series”
2021 Carbon Petite Sirah
Polished, balanced, intense: CARBON is a blend of the deepest, darkest wines we could make. Weaving these bold varieties together with a delicious approachability is quite a challenge – but we like challenges. Dark, strong, and full bodied yet approachable, CARBON comes charging off the line with opaque black color in the glass. Aromas of black cherries, licorice, and deeply toasted oak seamlessly transition to flavors of ripe plum and crushed blackberries, finishing with sculpted tannins and violet accents. 70% Petite Sirah, 13% Petite Verdot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec from Sonoma County.  ABV14.9%  JS91
