RCF Vineyard

The vineyard runs along the bank of Simmons Creek on our Calistoga estate and was first planted in 1985 with Merlot bud-wood from the famed Three Palms Vineyard, located just to the south on Silverado Trail. Comprised primarily of cobblestones and loam, this site yields wines of depth and character inspired by classic Right Bank blends. In 2002, we began redeveloping the vineyard, and the next release was not until the 2013 vintage.

Winegrower
The 2021 RCF Vineyard, Red Wine shows a beautiful opaque, inky dark color in the glass with aromas of plum reduction, blackberry compote, baking spices and candied violet. This wine is unique with intense dark fruit flavors on the palate - boysenberry, baking spice and rich velvet texture. Both Cabernet Franc and Malbec play a central role in this wine highlighting Cabernet Franc's characteristics of structural tannin, blueberry fruit and floral components matched with the fruit intensity of Malbec.
