Motto Wines
California Wines: The Bold Side of Terroir
"Intensity without rules: A collection designed for those who seek deep, dark, and modern character wines."
The Philosophy of Audacity in California
Motto Wines is a disruptive proposition in the American wine world. Originating from California's most vibrant valleys, these wines challenge classic conventions to focus on the opulence of ripe fruit and maximum color extraction.
The winery has perfected a distinctive "darkness" in its aroma. Through expert use of French and American oak barrels, Motto delivers wines with a velvety texture and a forceful density, ready to be enjoyed from the first uncorking.
Label and Pairing Guide
Each label in the Motto collection represents a unique style of modern winemaking:
Gung Ho (Red Blend)
A bold blend with predominant notes of black plum and vanilla. It is the ideal companion for BBQ, smoked meats, or wood-fired cuts.
Backdraft (Cabernet Sauvignon)
Stands out for its robust structure with nuances of dark chocolate and toasted oak. Recommended for glazed ribs and dishes with spiced sauces.
Unabashed (Zinfandel)
An explosion of blackberry jam and black pepper. It pairs perfectly with sourdough pizzas, aged cheeses, and international cuisine with spicy touches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Motto's "Dark & Bold" style mean?
It's a technique that seeks maximum extraction of anthocyanins (color) and ripe tannins, resulting in visually very dark wines with a dense but smooth body on the palate.
Is it necessary to decant these wines?
Although they are designed to be immediately accessible, an aeration of 15 to 20 minutes allows the vanilla and chocolate notes to fully open up.
Where can I buy Motto Wines in Mexico?
You can acquire the complete collection with specialized and guaranteed shipping through La Cava Shop.
