Kitsune Red Blend - 2019

A blend of two organically farmed vineyards, this wine is the result of longtime grape-growing families and their connection to the land. Laura, the winemaker, sought out these vineyards to forge a deep bond with their stewards and the terroir. The decomposed granite soils of the Sierra foothills vineyard lend high acidity and a profound mineral core to the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. In contrast, the Cabernet Sauvignon is planted alongside the Sacramento River, where the significant diurnal shift allows for slow ripening and robust acidity. The sanguine character of the Cabernet Sauvignon complements the cherry and spice notes of the Merlot, creating an elegant and pure wine. Inspired by the right-bank Bordeaux style, this quintessential old-school California blend showcases a silky mid-palate texture and complexity that makes it both captivating and easy to enjoy. Fermented in 1.5-ton vats with gentle punchdowns and aged in neutral barrels for twelve months, this wine is a love letter from Laura to the classic steakhouse wines and Bordeaux-inspired California blends that have inspired her throughout her career in the industry.
