The 2019 Cinsault Camp 4 Vineyard has a pale ruby-purple color and autumnal scents of fallen leaves, earth and iron with tones of red cherries, citrus peel and mushrooms.

Pepper and clove introduce licorice brushed aromas of plum, strawberry, raspberry and citrus that define an astonishingly light body. This is a wine that won’t overpower vegetable or seafood and can also stand up to big game. Serve cool.
Our 2019 Alisos Grenache is smooth and elegant with dense flavors of ripe plum, fresh dark cherry and licorice. Herbal and earthy notes make for the overall impression of a well-balanced wine.
The 2019 Mourvedre Camp Four Vineyard is an incredibly distinctive wine. Perfumed and savory, with terrific energy, the Mourvedre is so expressive. Red-fleshed fruit and bright acids lend energy to medium-bodied wine that overdelivers in so many ways. 94 pts Antonio Galloni
Our versatile take on France’sChâteauneuf-du-Pape is made with Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsualt.
