2019 · San Francisco Bay
A blend of 44% Tinta Roriz, 38% Tinta Cão and 18% Souzão from the Knightsen area of Contra Costa County. All three grapes contribute fruit, body and texture in a smooth medium-weight package with great fruit, super drinkable texture, and just enough character to pair beautifully with roasted foods and tons of dishes, or just by itself.

One rule on this site
A tasting note, a blend and an alcohol figure belong to one stated vintage and never carry to another, because the wine changes between years. The note above is the one published for the 2019 on the shelf, and it moves when the vintage does.
Prices, vintages and appellations as of September 2026, verified against the Local Vines store.
