Description

This 'field blend' vineyard, planted in Calistoga over 100 years ago, is an homage to California’s winegrowing heritage. When immigrants first settled here, they brought with them vine cuttings from their villages and planted what would later become known as "field blends." These unique vineyards produced wines that were shared among family, traded with neighbors and offer a nod to the farmers who settled in wine country. The aromatics are laden with heady blackberry, cassis and red licorice. The palate showcases ripe fruit flavors reminiscent of blood orange, pomegranate and blackberry cobbler. Typical of this vineyard, the fruit character is bold but balanced by bright acidity. The finish is lengthy across the palate with smooth tannins and refined oak integration.
