Spann Vineyards Red Wines

38% Syrah, 37% Zinfandel, 14% Petit Verdot, 11% Petite Sirah

Named after our mountainside vineyard, this was originally made as a special treat for our friends and family members who helped us during harvest. The perfect getting-off-of-work red wine, this is great by itself or with barbeque, pizza or other richly flavored foods.

"This light bodied Cabernet Sauvignon offers red and black fruit with high acidity, firm tannins, and a good deal of cedar on the nose. It has a lovely suave mouth feel with excellent freshness. Sourced from The Spann’s estate vineyard 1700 feet high in the Mayacamas Mountains and from neighboring vineyards."  90 points

Cabernet Sauvignon 75%, Cabernet Franc  15%, Merlot 8% & Petit Verdot 2%

This comes from our estate vineyard at 1700 feet of elevation in the Mayacamas Mountains of Sonoma Valley and grapes purchased from several neighbors. Aged 2 1/2 years in French oak barrels, this wine has a marvelous red cherry aroma with wonderful richness, balance and a long, elegant finish.

"The 2014 Classic Four is a delicious, mouth filling wine with rich earthy, red and black fruit flavors and minerals. It has a lovely texture and persistent finish. A blend of 50% Malbec, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot." 93 points   International Wine Review - August 2019

Malbec 50%, Cabernet Sauvignon 33%%, Cabernet Franc 9% & Merlot 8%

This Bordeaux-style blend is for people who love the black currant richness of Cabernet Sauvignon but not the rough tannins that go along with it.  We blend in Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc to both cover over this roughness and add red cherry and raspberry complexities, lush mouth-feel and firm backbone.  Designed for near-term enjoyment, this will also gain in complexity over the next 3 to 5 years.

Zinfandel 70%, Mourvedre 20%, Syrah 10%   

This is a throwback to the way Zinfandel was made 100 years ago, as a field blend, which creates complex aromas and flavors as well as moderate alcohol (14.5%) for food-friendliness.  We recommend this with anything grilled, from salmon and ahi tuna to lamb, pork tenderloin.

"Five Barrels"   75% Petit Verdot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon  

We traditionally use Petit Verdot to add color, aroma and authoritative structure to our Cabernet Sauvignon blend, but since this wine is so delicious by itself, we chose a few of the best barrels to bottle as a single varietal wine. This wine has a powerful aroma of black currants, black raspberry and violets with dense black fruit flavors.

"Five Barrels"    100% Primitivo  

Primitivo is a close cousin of Zinfandel that expresses the ripe blackberry aroma and taste one expects from Zinfandel but in a more elegant manner. Rich with zesty flavors of blackberry, raspberry and spice. This is a fruit-forward, early maturing wine that will be best during the first five years from the vintage date while the fruit is fresh and vibrant.

"The 2013 Zinfandel displays a red fruited nose with good purity on the attack. On the palate it offers refined red cherry and berry flavors with a hint of cola berry sweetness. It is medium weight with good concentration and a lingering finish."

"Four Barrels" 84% Zinfandel, 8% Syrah & 8% Petite Sirah 

Perfectly ripened, cool-climate Zinfandel grapes give this wine a beautiful raspberry and blackberry aroma and taste while Syrah adds deep color and black plum notes and enriches the mouth-feel.
