Wyethia Flame
Sonoma County, California
An exquisite Sonoma take on an award-winning Right Bank Bordeaux blend
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Wyethia Flame
Red Varietals
Bordeaux is the most famous wine region on Earth, and the wines from the Right Bank are known for being rounder and softer than their left bank cousins due to a larger dose of Merlot in the blend. Like Bordeaux, Sonoma County has a cool maritime climate where the grapes can retain their acidity while still reaching ripeness. For this blend, the Merlot provides lush fruit and a soft texture on the palate. The Cabernet provides structure and a lingering finish. Cab Franc brings freshness with high acidity. A touch of Zin, Petit Verdot, and Malbec bring color and a California twist to the classic blend. The result transcends and proves that the New World can compete with the Old. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver Medal at the 2020 West Coast Wine Competition.

WINE REGION:
Sonoma County
Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Wyethia Flame
Wyethia Flame is rooted in the history and terroir of Lodi, California. The Wyethia flower shares this region's picturesque landscape with its state flower, the poppy, blooming in the sunny vales and floodplains between gently rolling hills. The "flame" refers to the traditional cultivation of Flame Tokay grapes introduced to the region in the 1900s, which for years supported Lodi's agricultural industry and were a common sight in nearly all its vineyards. Nowadays, this forgotten grape only exists in far-away corners of the region, replaced by European varieties better suited for winemaking. Our wines epitomize Lodi's terroir by respecting the rich history of native flora and cultivated crops, which helped shape the flourishing wine region it is known as today.
