Art + Farm Wine

Wine, words -- both are simple things capable of great complexity.

Like words, wine can convey a great many things. The complexity of our wine comes from embracing the art of blending ... layering vintages, vineyards & varietals to obtain luscious flavor.

The result is a thousand stories, but only one message ... Enjoy our wine for what it is, an expression of the land that grew it and the hands that have touched it.

The Messenger.

We layered vineyards, varietals and vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon 62%, Merlot 22%, Malbec 15% and Petit Verdot 1% to create this signature Messenger wine. Bright raspberry tickled by vanilla and with a chewy mouth feel will keep you excited and asking for more.

If you have the confidence to embrace something original (really...it is such an old concept, it's new again) you will be rewarded with each sip. If not, order something else.

Telegram Chardonnay
First we layered Chardonnay from the 2009 vintage, grown in the cooling influenced Sacramento Delta, fermented in stainless steel and without malolactic fermentation.

We then added 15% Russian River Chardonnay from the 2008 vintage that was aged on richly integrated French oak and underwent malolactic fermentation.

Result: Aromatic and delicate, but rich with a wide range of flavors that are interesting and enticing with endless food pairing possibilities.

Telegram Sauvignon Blanc
Single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from the sustainably farmed Beckstoffer Amber Knolls site in the Red Hills of Lake County. The fruit was night harvested and underwent a slow cold fermentation for over 2 months in stainless steel. We used free run juice, with some pressings added back.

Result: A crisp and refreshing wine that has enough acid to pair with traditional (chicken) and non-traditional (spring rolls) dishes to yield surprising and satisfying results.

Telegram Cabernet Sauvignon
We blended beautiful Lake County Cabernet fruit with a small amount of older Merlot from Napa. This wine has the bright clean fruit of a young Cabernet with the soft, round and lingering finish provided by the aged Merlot.

Most of the Cabernet was aged on a mix of old and new French oak barrels, with a small amount of the blend fermented in stainless steel.

Result: Quintessential Cabernet characteristics of black current, green peppercorns and pimento that maintain the brightness of their youth but with the added dimension of violets, leather and cedar that would normally be the reward of extensive aging.

Telegram Merlot
A rich and opulent Merlot bounding with fruit and layered with fine French oak. An equal blend of Napa and Sonoma Merlot.

What can we say... there is a reason why the finest wines in the world are Merlots.

This one will not disappoint.

Result: A merlot with flavor and body. A perfect complement to chicken, pork and many vegetable dishes.
