We've historically allocated this over-performing fruit exclusively to our rosé program, but beginning in 2019 we carved out a few tons for Indica Red. As such, the 2019 Indica is a blend of three historic Mendocino ranches - Lolonis (circa 1942), McCutchen (circa 1960s), and Bartolomei (circa 1940s). The wine benefits from multiple fermentation techniques - some open-topped, some sub-capped, some closed-topped. The resulting wine is not carbonic hipster juice, but rather a serious red table wine more akin to Gigondas or Corbieres. Mostly Carignan with a few barrels of Valdiguie blended in for good measure, it may be the most "Californian" wine we produce.
