2015 PESTONI FAMILY 1892 FIELD BLEND Quackenbush Mountain Vineyard | Lake County Vineyard Notes: Our Quackenbush Mountain Vineyard sits at an altitude of 2,000 feet on a rocky slope overlooking the eastern shore of Clear Lake. With its ideal red clay and fractured basalt, this location benefits from the cool lake breezes. This slows the ripening process, allowing the fruit to reach the balance and intensity we look for in a mountain wine. Our vines, all heirloom selections of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, are planted with budwood gathered from some of the old existing plantings in California. Our grandfather, Albino Pestoni, and great uncles made their robust wines with these types of grapes under similar conditions… one of the blocks even originates from Uncle Fred Domingos' old ranch. Vintage Notes: This was easily one of the most challenging harvest to date. The massive fires devastated the area and our vineyard became one of the staging areas for the firefighters. The winds kept the smoke moving the other way and we are happy to report that all our grapes were free of even trace amounts of taint. The growing season began with an early bud break followed by a hot summer leading to an early September harvest. Overall yields were average to below average. Even with this short growing season, the fruit showed a very nice acid balance and should make for an exceptional vintage. Winemaker’s Notes: Fragrant aromas of ripe, black fruit and sweet berry pie fill the glass, highlighting the predominant Zinfandel fruit in this enjoyable blend. Cabernet Sauvignon adds a savory richness to the palate, and the touch of French oak imparts soft vanilla notes and a warm spiciness. The addition of Petite Sirah rounds out this balanced red wine by adding a little density and silky texture. Enjoy with your favorite sweet and spicy BBQ recipes, or even a homemade pizza on your grill!
