Craft 64 in Old Town Scottsdale introduces its 1st branded wine

Craft 64, the Old Town Scottsdale pizzeria and craft beer bar, has released its first-ever wine.

Unlike many ‘‘branded’’ wines that simply are a re-branding of an existing wine, Craft 64 created the Pinot noir.

Co-owner and sommelier Josh Ivey (pictured) sourced the juice from three vineyards – Adams, Dukes, and Jubilee – in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, then oversaw the blending and barreling.

The wine features notes of cherry, raspberry, brown sugar, and baking spices and was aged in third- and fourth-use French oak barrels.

It sells for $15 per glass or $55 per bottle.

Besides the wine, Craft 64 also brews its own line of exclusive beers at SunUp Brewery in Phoenix.
