2023 Frantoio Red Blend

Refined and expressive, this red blend opens with bright aromatics of fresh raspberry, wild strawberry, and a touch of plum, layered with subtle notes of dried herbs and warm spice. On the palate, fine-grained tannins provide structure without weight, carrying the wine’s natural energy through the mid-palate. Savory undertones emerge on the lengthy finish, revealing a balance of ripeness and restraint. 

The label is inspired by our Frantoio, the heart of the Ranch, where our communities gather and memories take root. This wine is part of the Postcards from the Ranch series.
