Gravelly soils are responsible for some of the world’s greatest wines. With their superior draining properties and lack of nutrients, they encourage better balanced vines, less sprawl, smaller berries and more intense wines. Gravel Bed Red, as the name suggests, is a proprietary blend showcasing some of the best gravelly sites in Sonoma County.

Our 2022 Gravel Bed Red opens with blue blueberry and boysenberry aromas, wrapped in a delicate bouquet of fresh lavender. The juicy palate delivers marionberry and boysenberry cobbler, with savory dried herbs, and mouthwatering acidity. Supple tannins linger on the smooth, elegant finish. This wine pairs beautifully with aged Gouda cheese, Italian sausage with fennel, or pasta bolognese.
