    Winemaker Notes

    This red blend is full of contrast -- rich, yet delicate; fruity, yet structured. Soft floral aromas give way to flavors of blueberry pie and pomegranate with hints of jasmine tea and spice.

    Pair with beef chili, whole roasted chicken, pot roast, grilled hamburgers or fettuccine alfredo. For more unexpected pairings, try with nachos, beef jerky or even with seafood dishes like spicy tuna tartar.

    Blend: 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Petit Verdot, 12% Petite Sirah, 10% Zinfandel

    Motto, California
    Our winemakers didn't set out to push boundaries. But they did. They didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. But they did. So they decided to embrace it and make it their motto – learn the rules, so you can break them with style. The result? Rich, dark wines like none you've had before. California wines made in a Washington style, winemaker Reid Klei, is the Assistant Winemaker at Columbia Crest our of Paterson, WA.

    California is a winemaking colossus; by itself it is the fourth largest producer in the world. Red wine accounts for 56% of the total by volume, and red grapes 63% of total acres planted. In addition, a number of California red wines are heralded as being among the most prestigious and sought-after wines in the world.

    While the state’s incredibly diverse geography, soils and microclimates allow for a wide array of styles, the key factor unifying California red wine is the abundance of sunshine and a long, consistent growing season. This leads to well-developed fruit marked both by impressive ripeness and balancing acidity.

    The state’s most famous red wine region, of course, is Napa Valley, where Cabernet Sauvignon reigns as king. But California boasts a wealth of other impressive appellations. The much larger and climatically varied Sonoma County also produces world class California Cabernet, along with wonderful examples of California Pinot Noir and Zinfandel.

    Fine versions of Cabernet and Zinfandel hail from Paso Robles as well, which is also gaining fame with Rhone varietals like Syrah and Grenache. As for Pinot Noir, terrific examples can be found from AVA’s such as Anderson Valley, Carneros, Santa Lucia Highlands and Sta. Rita Hills. Wineries in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties are making wonderful Syrahs, and the Sierra Foothill appellations are proving to be an experimental hotbed, with Italian and Spanish varietals employed to great effect.

    This of course is a mere sketch. The subject of California red wine is as deep and broad as an ocean, and absolutely a joy to explore!
