2021 Aatto

44% Counoise, 36% Mourvè­dre and 20% Grenache

The 2021 Aat­to is wicked­ly fresh, burst­ing from the glass with a lift­ing mix of sweet herbs, cola and hints of orange-tinge dark choco­late com­ple­ment­ing crushed straw­ber­ries. It’s juicy in char­ac­ter with a wave of liq­uid vio­let flo­rals and crisp black­ber­ry fruits that cas­cade across the palate. It fin­ish­es on a spicy note with a lay­er of crunchy tan­nins and tart black­ber­ry.

"A cin­na­mon and clove dust­ing gives way to men­tho­lat­ed herbs and crushed black­ber­ries as the 2019 Aat­to blos­soms in the glass. This is tex­tu­ral­ly thrilling, creamy yet spry, with cool­ing acid­i­ty, min­er­al tones and cit­rus-tinged wild berries that stim­u­late the palate. There’s a sense of bound­less ener­gy as the 2019 fin­ish­es spicy and long. Crunchy red and blue fruits slow­ly fade. The Aat­to goes down too eas­i­ly, mak­ing it almost impos­si­ble to sense the 16% abv with­in. It’s a blend of 45% Counoise, 35% Mourvèdre and 20% Grenache. 94+ pts"

Eric Gui­do — Vinous

Finnish for, ​“eve”, as in Christ­mas Eve. My dad’s name; he was born on Christ­mas Eve (Joulu Aatto).

My dad was a dream­er, like me. I guess I got his rest­less DNA. He was born in Fin­land in 1932, was essen­tial­ly orphaned by the time he was 10, jumped on a ship with one of his broth­ers to Cana­da in his ear­ly-20s, met my mom, had kids, and ulti­mate­ly moved us to South­ern Cal­i­for­nia. The land of opportunity!

Although he real­ized some of that oppor­tu­ni­ty, he nev­er quite got a hold of the reins the way he envi­sioned. He inspired me to real­ize that dream. I feel total­ly priv­i­leged to be here today, and because of that I give my dad a nod, an acknowl­edge­ment that I’m here because of his dreams.
