Learn More about the Blend
Imagine towering coastal redwoods wrapped around rolling vineyards, with nearby rocky cliffs crashing dramatically into the Pacific. Wild and untamed, Mendocino, the greenest of California’s wine regions, may well be its most beautiful. Over the years, it has attracted artists and free-thinkers, leading to a small town, laid-back culture with many more independent cafés than chain restaurants. A tour through Mendocino is an unplug and unwind trip, a far cry from the massive commercial estates two hours south in Napa Valley.
It’s not surprising, then, that Mendocino is home to some of the nation’s most progressive winemakers who have perfected sustainable and organic vineyard management and winemaking techniques. Ian Devereux White, founder of Smith Devereux, has developed a decade-long friendship and partnership with the owner and farmer of one of these vineyards. The Merlot and Syrah grapes for this Red Blend come from that vineyard, nestled along the Russian River, and as the “Collaboration Series” name suggests, we worked closely together in crafting the final product.
