As fourth generation winemakers and farmers, Carlo and Dante Mondavi attribute a great deal of what they have learned to their grandfather Robert and father Tim, both whom influenced them from a young age. They consider their father their first teacher in beyond-organic farming, an approach they've followed as a family of farmers for decades, and Carlo and Dante consider themselves ‘winegrowers’ rather than winemakers.
Carlo and the RAEN team began the Monarch Challenge in 2016, inspired by the migration of the Monarch butterfly, as an effort to bring awareness to clean farming practices, with the vision of a future of farming in Sonoma, Napa and beyond that protects the biodiversity and life of our planet.
Vibrant aromas of fresh summer apricot, sun-kissed white peach, wild raspberry, and red grapefruit burst from the glass. On the palate, this coastal wine is incredibly lifted and bright, exuding flavors of stone fruit, flower petal, crushed rock and lemon zest, all held together with a racy acidity and a bright, lingering, mineral finish.
Blend: 70% Grenache, 30% Pinot Noir
