Blended Wine

Made from two or more grape varieties, blended wines typically smooth out the variations between different vintages, or bring out complementary characteristics between different wines.

Our flagship wine every year since its inception in 2001, the idea behind Mellow Apathy is to try different blends of Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, Petite Syrah, etc., and find the best combination of all or some. Nearly every year the combination has been with Merlot from El Dorado in the foothills of the Serria Mountains, and the Cabernet from our good friends at Allegresse Vineyards in Paso Robles. This year was no exception, and once again we came to an unanimous conclusion that the blend would be 60% Cabernet from Paso and 40% Merlot from El Dorado. We produced just over 400 bottles of Mellow Apathy, and we expect to be sold out by mid 2007.

Look for lots of cherry, cola, and caramel. A softer wine than the Cabernet, this is a much more approachable wine. Drink now and enjoy!

Vintages

2004 Mellow Apathy Blend

This blend had a distinct strawberry nose and was a more earthy wine than the '04 Cabernet. Tight with currant and vanilla overtones, this wine had the strength of a Cabernet with the suppleness of the Merlot. The finish stayed dry with a well integrated tannic structure.
