Made in the style of Pinot Noir, this elegant medium-body wine is fruit forward with smooth tannins and balanced acidity with notes of pomegranate, plum, and earthy undertones. Using rare Mencia grapes and Petit Sirah, our Private Reserve Red Blend exhibits complexity even as a new vintage. Drink now or cellar to enjoy in years to come. Grapes sourced from a sustainable vineyard in the Northern California Alta Mesa American Viticultural Area (AVA). Third-party laboratory tested to be free of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
Great choice for Holiday Turkey!
Given the wine’s medium weight, It is delicious without food or it makes a great pairing for roasted chicken, savory cheese, and pork. For the holidays, this wine is a fantastic pairing for roast turkey and stuffing. The wine won’t overpower the food, while the acidity cuts through the richness of the stuffing and gravy.
Our target brix for the Mencia grapes is 23 which creates a full fruit flavor without any hint of prunes or excessive jamminess. We use a whole berry fermentation process that brings out the bright taste, along with creating smooth tannins, and produces very low histamines. To ensure optimal freshness, from the time the grapes are picked at harvest to when the winemaking process begins, it is approximately four hours.
