Description

Cruse Wine Co. Monkey Jacket is the flagship red blend from acclaimed California winemaker Michael Cruse and one of the most distinctive cult wines in the modern California wine scene. Produced from a constantly evolving blend of heritage and lesser-known grape varieties—including Valdiguié, Carignan, Petite Sirah, Tannat, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and mixed field blends depending on the vintage—Monkey Jacket is designed to capture the vibrancy, diversity, and drinkability of California wine culture.

Sourced primarily from organically farmed vineyards across California’s North Coast, the wine is made with native fermentation, partial whole-cluster inclusion, restrained extraction, and minimal-intervention techniques. The result is a fresh, energetic red that balances old-vine concentration with remarkable brightness and versatility.
