This Bordeaux-style red blend is a complex, intricate and well-structured wine that emphasizes toasty, peppery aromas and savory, red-fruit flavors. Moderate tannins and good fruit acidity give a lively, appetizing texture that supports the raspberry, red cherry, bay leaf and black pepper flavors. Really interesting to sip and savor. Drink now.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Appellation

Sonoma Valley

California's beautiful and remarkably fertile Sonoma Valley has grown over the decades to become one of the United States' most respected and profitable wine regions, with wineries within the region benefiting from the superb Californian sunshine, low rainfall and wonderfully rich soils. Because of this vital combination of excellent conditions, the region is able to grow a wide range of grape varietals for use in the production of an impressive array of wines, with many different red and white wine grapes flourishing each year and producing excellent and characterful results. The soils have been enriched by volcanic activity, and the presence of geothermal springs, which make this region a unique one, and very much the beating heart of California's ever growing wine industry.

Winery Notes

SeaQuelle is the newest chapter in our Bordeaux-inspired story — a Right Bank-style Meritage that places Merlot at center stage. Crafted from all five noble Bordeaux varieties, this wine is a refined counterpart to our Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend, The Mariner. SeaQuelle reflects our continued innovation with Bordeaux grapes and the exceptional quality Merlot can achieve in Dry Creek Valley. Its name is both a nod to our nautical roots and a tribute to the next generation’s vision for the future of our Bordeaux program. SeaQuelle embodies the evolution of the art of blending spanning over five decades at our family winery. Aromas of berry pie, cranberry sauce, black tea, violet, chocolate ganache and damp earth rise from the glass. The palate opens with blackberry, boysenberry and spiced plum, leading to layers of black cherry, clove, cocoa powder and graphite. Touches of fine leather and cinnamon add depth, carrying through to a long finish. The mouthfeel is soft at the mid-palate, and well-structured with fine, supple tannins.
