A right old smorgasbord of grapes from California that just works brilliantly together.
Zinfandel and Sangiovese with some Cabernet Franc, Corvina, Syrah... get outta here! (There are more in the mix, just read the back label).
Dark and brambly with a playful juiciness and joie de vivre. Will see you from BBQ to steaks on a winters day.
Winemaker Andrew Jones has a keen eye for diamonds in the rough: sites that are unknown or under-appreciated but hold enormous untapped potential. Spending his days as a vine nursery fieldman planning and planting vineyards for farmers all over California, Andrew is sometimes offered small lots of their best fruit on the side. Having stood in just about every vineyard on the Central Coast, he’s all about finding those underdogs with untapped potential. As friendships are made and opportunities are embraced, Andrew produces small quantities of soulful wine from these unusual, quiet vineyards.
