About This Wine


Print Shop Cellars

Signature Red

Printmaking and winemaking have a lot in common. Both take a combination of artistry, skill, and a drive for perfection. In both, a lot can go wrong, but real artisans turn out works worthy of our notice. Print Shop Cellars honors the hard work that goes into artistry of all types. This wine is a combination of two of our favorite grapes: Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah. Together they combine to show beautiful blue fruits, a velvety texture, and lively structure. About a third of these grapes come from Lake County from vines that are influenced by Clear Lake, the largest inland lake in California. This is the kind of wine that showcases the complexity that can come from these types of grapes when they are picked and blended with an artist’s precision. Judges love it too! It took home a Double gold medal from the 2018 Harvest Challenge. That means that judges voted unanimously to award it gold, and 90 points and another Gold medal from 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.

  • A figure representing the Blueberry tasting note. Blueberry

Petit Verdot has the indulgence of blue fruits and Petite Sirah brings boysenberries and spices. Both varieties showcase the depth and complexity they can achieve when optimal conditions occur. Powerful oaky and layers of spices to complement the richness of this blend.
