This sumptuous blend is sourced from some of the most iconic AVAs within Sonoma County. Our vineyard sites stretch across the region, from the benchlands of Dry Creek to the slopes of Sonoma Mountain, the mountains of Alexander Valley to the rugged ridgelines of the Sonoma Coast, and the rolling hills of Sonoma Valley to the banks of the Russian River. Within these distinctive regions, we select parcels that showcase depth of fruit character, the signature Sonoma tannin-acid balance, and an elegant yet generous palate structure. The rich, complex structure of our A&C Proprietary Red is the result of masterful blending, built on a foundation of old-vine Zinfandel and enhanced with layers of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Malbec. Each individual wine parcel was vinified and barrel-aged separately for six months before the first stage of blending. Kindred components, such as Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, were married early in the cellaring process, while other lots benefited from extended aging on their own and were only incorporated into the blend later. The final assemblage occurred three months prior to bottling, allowing the wine to integrate and mature as a cohesive blend. We exclusively use French oak barrels with a mix of light, medium, and medium-plus toasts, valuing their elegance and subtlety, which complement each varietal component. This thoughtful approach harmonizes the spectrum of varietal characters, unifying them into a seamless blend.
