We are proud to introduce this unique field blend of eleven grape varieties that were, at one time, widely planted before prohibition. We interplanted the fruit on one acre where it was picked and fermented at the same time. Aromatics of plum, black tea and baking spices reveal a palate of black cherry cordial, pomegranate, and tart plum with hints of eucalyptus, lavender, and rose petal. A chalky minerality mingles with ample acid and firm, grippy tannins.
