This is a stylish, old-world-vibes Bordeaux blend blend from the heights of the Santa Cruz Mountains—where cool air, dry farming, and limestone-rich soils give a uniquely expressive wine. Made by Charlie Gilmore from 100% organic fruit grown at Black Ridge Vineyard (~1,000 feet elevation), it’s composed of 72% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot.
Fermented in small containers and aged in gently used (seven-year-old) barrels, it’s unfined, unfiltered, and full of character.
In the glass, this wine straddles elegance and approachability—soft red and black berries, bright currant and pomegranate, and a whisper of lavender and sandalwood on the finish. The tannins are supple and the acidity perfectly balanced, making it an inviting pour from the first sip.
Serve with simple and satisfying fare: roasted chicken, cozy stews, herby dishes.
