Founded in 2014, Farmstrong Vineyards produces dynamic wines that tilt their hat to California’s diversity and history, sourced from independent family owned vineyards practicing sustainable farming. All three of the vineyard sites where the grapes of this blend are grown have a large diurnal temperature shift. This is a key element that allows the fruit to be balanced and beaming with flavor at lower sugars, allowing the winemaker to harvest earlier and retain the lovely natural acidity, vibrant red fruits and floral notes.
This is a blend from three growers, all sustainably farmed sites: old vine Carignane from Hawkeye Ranch, Zinfandel from KenMar Vineyard in Redwood Valley, & Syrah from Ledgewood Vineyard in Suisun Valley.

“Wow a show stopper here that’s rich and really good. Long deep flavors, rich and exotic!”
