Mislabled as 2010 due to a brain fart; I had to go back and cross the date off of every label and hand write in the correct year DOH!
Roan is a coat color found in many animals, notably horses, cattle and dogs. It is defined generally as a mixture of pigmented hairs that does not fade as the animal ages.
I chose “Red Roan” as the name for this wine as it is both a mixture of wine whose flavours will not fade as it ages, but also a play on the name of the region in France where blends based upon these varietals are common – Rhône.
The Grenache and Mataro came from “Wine Tree Farms” in Amador County, and the Syrah from Brentwood’s “Field Of Dreams”.
