Table Spice
Blackberries, forest herbs, plum skin, blood orange, and crushed stone. Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a spice-laced, energetic finish that unfolds with remarkable persistence.
The perfect everyday red—bright enough for warmer days but with enough depth for cool evenings. Darin Colombini has been farming these 80-year-old, head-trained vines in Redwood Valley since he helped his dad as a child.
We destemmed 75% of the fruit and poured it over the 25% whole-cluster portion in tank. After spontaneous fermentation got rolling, the clusters were foot tread. Daily punch-downs and eleven months elevage in neutral French oak created a wine that captures the essence of these ancient vines—vibrant fruit backed by structure and complexity that only old vines can deliver.
Five barrels produced.
