This impressive Bordeaux Blend was grown in a new vineyard on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm this vineyard to maximize quality. The 2019 growing season was nearly ideal the Santa Clara Valley allowing for a long hang time on the vine. Tess’ Blend is made to represent the best the Verde Vineyard has to offer and is made to drink now but will last years in your cellar.

This wine is defined by its elegance in both aromas and mouthfeel. Dark blackberry and cherry compote fruit along with dried herb and violet notes are framed by leather, vanilla, allspice and sweet tobacco. The big, silky tannins call out for food to be eaten with this wine.

This wine drinks well now, but is made to age for years to come. Drink with ribeye steaks when you and filet mignon when it has some age.

It was grown in a new vineyard next to our winery on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm their vineyard to maximize quality. The 2021 growing season was outstanding the Santa Clara Valley. It was slightly early, cooler, and lower in crop allowing long hang time on the vine, giving intense and complex flavors. Red cherry, dried orange peel, cedar and tobacco aromas jump out of the glass followed by fennel, cinnamon, and dried herbs. The mouthfeel has juicy tannins and balanced acidity, making it great for spit roasted pork tenderloin on the patio.
