Shop nowPlanted in well-draining shaly loam and rocky soils, our vines are naturally forced to struggle for survival. Deep beneath the ground, hidden from view, they put in the work – not for the applause, but for the vitality of the vine. The resulting wine showcases a strength of character grounded in fortitude and resiliency.
The east-west orientation of our vineyards combined with the unique surrounding terrain creates a distinctive microclimate. Warm, sun-soaked days are countered with day-to-night temperature swings of as much as 50 degrees – ideal conditions for fostering concentrated, balanced, and voluptuous wines.
Situated in a rugged valley flanked by the Santa Lucia Mountains to the west and the Gabilan Range to the east, our vines thrive undisturbed, perfectly shielded from the fury of Monterey’s trademark afternoon winds.
Uninterested in the status quo, we daringly unite the collective strengths of two unlikely allies to create one profound Very Dark Red blend. While traditionalists may question the idea of blending two powerhouse varietals like Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, we embraced the possibilities that such a scandalous marriage might unveil—and the risk paid off.
Bold and uncompromising, VDR effortlessly combines the expressive flavors of Petite Sirah with the supple tannic structure of Petit Verdot, revealing an intensely hued, full-bodied wine that is unlike any other.
