Pija, Spanish for “rascal,” is indeed a most feisty field blend of grape varietals well suited to inland Mendocino County’s terroir. We’ve taken the historical practice of Italian field blending – planting several varietals in one lot, harvesting the grapes together, and making wine – and adapted the method to create our own well-balanced, modern day blend.<br />
<br />
Unlike traditional field blending, we source grapes from different vineyards, particularly those characteristic of inland Mendocino’s wine-growing history. Mattern Ranch, located on the Talmage Bench east of the Russian River, provides dry-farmed old vine Zinfandel and a younger planting of Petite
Sirah. <br />
<br />
We source our Charbono from Venturi Vineyards’ ninety-year old, late-to-ripen vines. We ferment the lots separately and blend after
fermentation to produce the winemaker-inspired Pija Blend.<br />
<br />
This sophisticated peasant wine – and its source vineyards - will change from year to year, but the zesty, innovative spirit will remain the same. Plum, spice, and a soft chocolate finish emphasize the 2006 vintage’s wild berry and black cherry.<br />
<br />
We age our Pija blend in older French oak. Some potions age in stainless steel to emphasize fruit and flavor purity.</p>
