Campesino reads like a love story. A young girl Griselda Ceja (from the infamous Ceja winery) spent her childhood days on this property, she falls in love with a local winemaker and they got married on the vineyard site in 2007. This five acre vineyard is one of the most ideal vineyard sites in the Valley, getting much needed temperate weather necessary for this varietal.
The Vineyard: The “Steel Plow” vineyard is located at the base of Adbe Canyon in Sonoma Valley. It is farmed by “Famed” vineyard specialist Phil Coturri of Kamen, Vineyardist, etc fame. The soils are rocky in areas and contain eroded sediment from the Mayacamas Mountains. Three different types of gravely loam soils make up the vineyard which was replanted in the early 2000s using Budwood from the prominent Chateau Beaucastel in theRhone Valley.

This might be one of the BEST Grenaches I have tasted. So I highly recommend jumping on this 65 case release! The wine offers up gorgeous aromatics of black raspberries, anise and kirsch aromas and a whiff of wild flowers. This full-bodied youngster is extremely well-balanced with pure concentrated black and red fruit and a touch of chocolate offering the right touch of acidity and an amazingly long and complex finish. This is a real WOW!
