WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Rock & Vine is a Bordeaux-style blend consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot . Each component is aged separately for 16 months in a combination of French and American oak before blending. The fruit was selected from three ranches located in: Lake County, Mendocino, and Napa Valley that showcases why the North Coast is the leader in California for growing Bordeaux varieties. The Lake County grapes highlight the rich and ripe black fruit flavors, while Napa Valley grapes provide the backbone: rich textures and firm well-integrated tannins. Finally the Mendocino grapes tend toward dried herbs and a wonderful spice component that rounds out this intensely rich wine.
