ABOUT THIS WINE:

Hawthorne Grove

Hawthorne Grove

Red Blend 808

We are incredibly excited to welcome the highly lauded, award-winning Hawthorne Grove back to Firstleaf. This two time medal winner takes its character from two distinct grapes. Petit Verdot takes the lead in this blend with a deep purple color, earthy base, and vibrant blackcurrant aromas. The brighter fruit notes of blackberry and raspberry with a slightly spicy quality is the Zinfandel sourced from the Mokelumne River region in Southwestern Lodi. Together these grapes make a wine that is simply divine. Blend 808 is great for parties where tastes vary and is especially good with meats that will make the fruit lift off when paired together.

WINE REGION:

Outline of California

California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
