Spoken West is Jamey Whetstone’s California-focused label — a counterpart to his estate-driven Whetstone Wine Cellars in Napa. He sources from sustainably farmed vineyards in Lodi and Lake County, certified under the LODI RULES program, and keeps the cellar approach lean: 10% French oak, clean fruit, and a light hand on extraction. The winemaking philosophy reads Napa in spirit but not in price.
The 2022 delivers on the brand’s premise. Deep black cherry color, cassis and blackberry on the nose with cinnamon, licorice, and a warm cigar-box undercurrent. The palate runs brambly and bold — boysenberry, rhubarb — with fine-grained French oak tannins that structure without strain.
PAIRINGS :
| Grilled ribeye steak | the classic Cab pairing — tannins cut through fat, blackberry mirrors the charred crust |
| Braised beef short ribs | boysenberry and rhubarb fruit are a natural fit for slow-braised richness |
| Lamb chops with rosemary | firm tannins and cassis are built for lamb; herbs echo the wine’s savory edge |
