Crafted from rare grape varieties—42% Trousseau Noir, 20% Cabernet Pfeffer, 30% Gamay, and 8% Poulsard—this wine is a tribute to the adventurous spirit of Northern California’s vineyards.

Tasting Notes & Unique Character

Inspired by the alpine wines of France, this vibrant blend offers a symphony of flavors:
– Trousseau Noir delivers juicy pomegranate and raspberry notes.
– Cabernet Pfeffer surprises with fresh black pepper and rose hip aromas—a rare find in California wines.
– Gamay brightens the palate with red fruit vibrancy, while Poulsard lends a crisp, mineral-driven acidity.

Fermented in tanks and aged in neutral oak, this wine retains its lively personality through partial carbonic maceration and whole-cluster fermentation, enhancing its spice complexity and lean structure. At just 11.6% ABV, it’s a refreshing, food-friendly choice for lovers of light-bodied reds.
