Meza Wine Club: September 2026
Discovery Red / Red
Wine 1: Delta Cabernet Sauvignon
“Delta, meaning change, was born out of our desire to create a platform to make a difference in the fight to protect our planet. We partner with organizations dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment such as cleaning up our oceans and reducing CO2 emissions. We offset the carbon footprint our winery creates.
Along with our enthusiasm for making delicious wines, we are also passionate about preserving our natural world and planet, and supporting organizations that are working against climate change. We donate a portion of sales from each bottle sold to our important partners the Surfrider Foundation and Cool Effects. Your belief in our wine, and your dedication to improving our environment has allowed us to give $75k in our first five years. Thank you for enjoying our wine and making the world a better place for all people present and future.
After seven years of producing wine for their winery Brick & Mortar, the couple created Delta for Environmental Change in 2018 so that they could make a positive change in the environment through donations to non-profit companies such as the Surfrider Foundation and Cool Effect, which are both based in California, but have global reach in their work. For every bottle of Delta that is sold, a percentage of profits is donated to the two foundations. Matt and Alexis live and make wine in Sonoma County, California with their three children. We are a family of six living and producing wine in Healdsburg, California.”

Wine 2: Laya Garnacha
For this bottle we travel to Spain. In the border terrain where the maritime Levante is left behind to face the flatness of La Mancha, the grapes of Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell flourish. As if they were enchanted, the old vines seem to like these low-fertile limestone soils suffering from scarce rainfalls. Located at an altitude of 700 metres, they produce concentrated fruits that give a burst of varietal characteristics, flavors and aromas. Ancient battles resound through this rocky area, and even older, the hunts that were engraved in caves. Its vines retain the strength of centuries. New methods have resulted in the freshness of fruits and flowers and complexity of the blend.
The Garnacha Tintorera grape with its violet pulp is predominant, yet the sweetness and strength of the Monastrell is noticeable in the blend.
The grapes of Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell come from vineyards located in Almansa between 700 and 1.000 metres of altitude and planted on sandy soils with high amount of limestone. Fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and then aged in French oak barrels. This wine combines complexity, structure and an intense cherry color. Elegant, fresh and complex nose where ripe fruits and floral notes can be appreciated. Pleasant and fresh entry-mouth, balanced with sweet tannins, unctuous and enveloping with an unique mid-palate and long finish.
