From the winemaker- Le Blend began in 2014 as a one-off, kitchen-sink blend of components that remained after assembling our other wines. There was some thought that went into it. We were aiming to balance our lighter, fruitier, leftover Italian varietals with the darker characters of varietals like Syrah, Tempranillo and Petite Syrah to make a soft, easy-drinking wine with a broad range of fruit characters. Because of the surprising popularity of that first vintage, we added Le Blend to our regular portfolio and started sourcing fruit more specifically for it. The composition still changes every year, but Le Blend has a definite theme and identity now. It has also quite accidentally become one of our best sellers! 17 barrels produced.
