The name “Grizzly Republic” comes from an early attempt to choose a name for what would become California. It was chosen because the winemaker had Californian roots that ran six generations deep, and he used grapes from all over the state.
Now that the business has settled in Paso Robles, the group is shifting its focus to local fruit for most wines, including their flagship vintage, a Petite Sirah that’s so dark it’s almost black, so deep it’s practically impossible to drink with open eyes. It’s far better to get lost in the layered flavor with no intrusion from the visual world, to let it wash over you in a moment of simple serenity.
