The concept of blending complementary and compatible grape varieties to create a wine of amplified expression, structure, integration, and balance, harnessing each component’s individual strengths to fashion a wine greater than the sum of its manifold components, has long held a fascination for us as wine producers.

Unbeatable value" (Philip Rich, The Halliday Wine Companion).
