ABOUT THIS WINE:
Quipster
Merlot
Quipster is all about quick-wittedness and opportunity, and like your sharpest friend is always good to have around. This wine punches way above its weight and is a wonderful take on a classic California profile that comes from just the right amount of sun on the Livermore, California grapes. It is full bodied with intense dark plum flavors that play off of hints of clove and nutmeg that come from time spent on new oak. Our winemaker describes it as a “powerful wine for powerful palates” and suggests pairing it with fried calamari, fresh salads, and fried chicken. And judges love it too! It took home a Gold at the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and a Silver at the 2019 Winemaker Challenge.

WINE REGION:
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.

TASTING NOTES:
Plum
Black Cherry
Baking Spice
This wine is perfect for the lovers of classic California style wines. Full-bodied and intense plum fruit flavors are the result of strong sun exposure, and new oak complements the intense fruit while adding clove and nutmeg. This is a powerful combination for powerful palates.
