Celebrating the winery’s finest grapes, passionate winemaking and extended family of friends, La Conviviance represents distinction, quality, gusto, personality and life, in every sense of the word. A wine to enjoy with friends.
This Proprietary blend was produced with the finest, hand selected Bordeaux varietals from the Estate’s vineyard in south Monterey County. Grown in small lots, and benefiting from the vineyard’s diurnal temperature variation and long growing season, each varietal was harvested and aged separately in 60% new French Nevers and American Missouri oak barrels for fourteen months, 12 days. The final blend consists of 46% Merlot, 38% Malbec and 16% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

This wonderfully aromatic wine graces the palate with rich chocolate, dark Bing cherry and ripe blackberry essences. A touch of toasted vanilla and anise add complexity to the soft, full forward fruit flavors. Balanced with structure and acidity, this wine is a natural culinary accompaniment with a long mouth-filing finish and beautiful deep garnet hue.
