About This Wine

Wyethia Flame

Red

All across the beautiful “Golden State” of California vineyards dot the landscape. From Willow Creek in the north to Temecula in the south grapes are grown in countless different conditions and in countless different varietals. Even in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, you’ll find grapevines growing alongside the wildflowers. The Wyetha Flame Red has a vibrancy that can only come from a mountain climate. Rich in tastes of black cherry and plum we recommend trying it slightly chilled to highlight the fruit flavors as they warm. It's taken home Gold medals too! 90 points and a Gold were awarded at the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition.

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 Black Pepper tasting note. Black Pepper

Wildly aromatic, fruity, and delicately spicy with hints of pepper, ripe cherries, and thyme. From the first sip, you will be able to taste the dark fruit, fantastic structure, and vibrancy in this young wine. Enjoy foods with savory and rustic entrees or chocolate desserts.
