Tasting Notes
Deep purple in the glass, this beautiful field blend is scented with licorice, roasted coffee bean and ripe dates. Juicy, ripe huckleberry flavors flood the palate, while hints of thyme & cacao round out the finish of this supple and elegant wine that can age for 10 years. Pair with creamy alfredo, braised meats and sauteed portobello mushrooms.

Vineyard Notes
Located in the broader Sonoma Valley, the vineyard is blessed with morning fog and afternoon sunshine which provides consistent light and temperatures to encourage the uniform development of grapes and the maturation of complex varietals. Three different varietals make up this classic field blend in the vineyard making it hard to pinpoint exact ripening. The Petite Sirah, Alicante and Carignan are all handpicked, cluster sorted and destemmed in winery and then co-fermented in true old world field blend style.

Vintage Notes
2021 started off gently with sunny skies and a warm spring. But as the spring wore on with little rain, it became clear that 2021 would be a drought year. As the dry but beautifully sunny summer continued, winemakers prepared for a lightened crop load, yet the valley drifted into a beautiful fall as the weather ended being perfect. The grapes were in perfect condition leading to another great vintage showcasing wines with powerful and intense flavor.
