Scythian Wine Co. is a new project from sommelier-turned-vigneron Raj Parr that highlights the nearly lost viticultural heritage of Los Angeles. The Palomino and Zinfandel are from the Lopez Vineyard in San Bernardino from vines planted in 1912. All vines are dry farmed and never sprayed or treated in any way. The grapes were harvested by hand and co-fermented whole cluster in open-top neutral fermenters, then rested in French oak barrels.
