2010 L'Ange Rouge
The unique clone of Larner Grenache is blended with Grenache from Alta Mesa Vineyard to showcase a rich and complex blend of Grenache.

The components of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre were fermented in small open-top bins, with 40% whole clusters included. The wine spent 20-25 days on the skins with a combination of pump-overs and punch downs. Aged 15 months in 500 liter French Oak puncheons, bottled unfined and unfiltered.
