Winemaker Notes
We set out in mid-1995 to blend a delicious, spicy, opulent--and most of all supremely affordable--wine. Reds is an amalgam of warm weather grapes from all over California. It is a true wine for the people: sensuous, round, exotic, and most of all, delicious!
"This year, Patrick Campbell has crafted an unusual blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache and Barbera, but the basic Reds style remains unchanged. It's still a big, lusty wine. Filled with young, fresh jammy flavors and strong acids, it's dry as dust, and cries out for rustic foods, like pizza or grilled chicken."

Laurel Glen Vineyard, a thousand feet up the slopes of Sonoma Mountain, has long been considered one of the iconic Cabernet vineyards of California. Originally planted in the 1880’s, the present-day vineyard was developed in the 1970’s by Sonoma wine pioneer Patrick Campbell. The 1st vintage of Laurel Glen Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was made in 1981. The vineyard’s combination of high altitude, eastern exposure, rocky soils, and small diurnal temperature swings combine to produce very distinctive wines. Despite its small production, the wine has received international acclaim for its exceptional balance, elegance and ability to age gracefully.
