2019 vintage
Harvest Note
Each year we select fruit that will allow us to assemble the finest blend for the given vintage. In 2019 grapes were selected from prestigious grape growing regions throughout California, including the North Coast Appellations of Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake Counties. After a wet and cool spring, the regions saw moderately warm, clear days throughout the summer months with fruit ripening at a predictable and leisurely rate. The consistent weather provided for a near perfect growing season, with harvest beginning in most areas by mid-August.
Tasting Note
This wine presents abundant aromas of dark cherry and strawberry jam, brown sugar, dark chocolate and cola with hints of cardamom, black pepper, sandalwood and licorice. The bright and vibrant entry accentuates flavors of fresh blueberries and allspice that linger into a creamy, rich mid-palate and ends with a luxurious finish.

Nature is unpredictable, unforgiving… and unapologetic. Everything must fight to survive. But it’s precisely this challenge that inspired the creation of Rebellious, a new red wine blend. Rebellious roots dig deep in their search for water, a struggle that yields the best grapes.
