We recently introduced one of their newest blends to our humble home. It is called Red4 and hails from their HuerHuero vineyard in Paso Robles, CA. It is a primary blend of Petite Syrah and Syrah.

The Bordeaux region of France is the second largest wine growing area in the world with almost 300K acres under vine. Over 90% of the wine produced is red and typically consists of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cab Franc, as well as Petite Verdot and Malbec on occasion.

I will dig deep into each sub-region in later articles.
The French still wine regions are comprised primarily of six regions; Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire, Provence and the Rhone Valley. These regions are known for particular grape varietals with regional district definitions created and maintained by the A.O.C. or Appellation d’Origine Controlee.
