Sonoma Mountain Red

For 30 years Joe Votek and the dedicated employees of Loma Del Sol Vineyards have been nurturing vineyards in Sonoma and Napa counties. Joe wanted to see the flavors born from the soil transformed into a wine that would purely express the grapes grown on Sonoma Mountain where he and his wife Deborah live and many of the vineyards that they farm are located. Sonoma Mountain often rises above the fog like an island in the sky, letting the east facing vineyards bathe in the morning sun. The 2008 Loma del Sol Vineyards Sonoma Mountain Red is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Malbec, 13% Merlot and 5% Syrah. The Cabernet is grown on the Red Hill cobbley clay loam of the Murray Farm. The Richard Dinner Vineyard is the source of the Malbec, Merlot & Syrah. The volcanic benchland soils of Sonoma Mountain produce a concentrated wine that erupts on the palate with savory dark ripe fruit.
