Tasting Notes This red blend leads with vibrant fruit characteristics (blackberry, fresh bing cherry) and finishes brightly thanks to the Grenache fruit flavor. There is layering of spice and herb flavors wrapped in a sheath of fruit. We find a lovely balance of fruit and earth. Young tannins are well integrated making it the perfect wine for food pairing or drinking on its own.

The Story
Venturi Vineyard is located just north of Ukiah, in the Calpella Valley, on predominantly Pinole gravelly loam soils. Pinole soils are some of the most sought-after soil types in Mendocino County. Highly deficient in organic matter, the moderately acidic soil pH allows for optimal nutrient uptake to allow the vines to thrive dry farmed. This 70 year-old vineyard is still amazingly healthy and productive. The vineyard is Certified Organic and dry farmed (never irrigated).
