Red Wine
Description

We strive to produce distinctive wines that spotlight unique terroirs in a socially and environmentally responsible way, practicing sustainable viticulture and utilizing minimally intrusive winemaking techniques. A careful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, the grapes for our 2019 Red Blend were carefully chosen from warm, sunny, sustainably farmed vineyards throughout California.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

Our 2019 California Red Wine is filled with aromas of star anise, cherry, raspberry and notes of white pepper. 

Palate: 

Blackberry and strawberry flavors coat the palate with complements of licorice and cola. This is a well-balanced wine with smooth tannins and a lingering finish.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

Heavy spring rains enriched the soils and delayed bud break by a few weeks. A heat spike in June, followed by warm weather, brought even veraison throughout the vineyards. A cooling trend and touch of rain in mid-September created ideal conditions for the 2019 harvest which is considered a near-perfect vintage.
