This red blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre results in a vibrant fruit-forward flavor profile. With low to medium tannins, this wine is both bright and luscious with notes of cranberry and graham cracker. A delightful hint of spice, reminiscent of Szechuan pepper, adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the wine.750ml

- Steel Plow Vineyard is a distinguished, organically farmed vineyard situated at the northern end of Sonoma Valley. Established in 1988 by Damaris Deere Ford, the great-great-granddaughter of John Deere, the vineyard's name pays homage to her ancestor's pioneering steel plow invention. The vineyard benefits from a unique microclimate where cool morning fog from the Santa Rosa Plain meets warmer air from the San Francisco Bay. The soil composition, primarily gravelly alluvial soils derived from the nearby Sugarloaf Mountain, contributes to the vineyard's distinctive terroir. This combination of climate and soil imparts complexity and minerality to the wines produced from its grapes.
