The Small Lot Blend wines are made with an artisan
winemaking approach usually associated with very
small production, and represent a level of both value
and quality not typically found at these prices. The
fruit for each Parducci Small Lot Blend varietal is
sourced from distinct vineyard parcels in and around
Mendocino County, each with its own microclimate
and soil composition.
Flavor Profile: Rich flavors of black
cherries and plums followed by a tea-leaf,
spiciness adding savor and zest.
Each lot is individually vinified and cellared to
develop its own unique body and flavor profiles.
After careful gauging of each lot’s characteristics,
Bob Swain, head winemaker, determines the final
blend to achieve the right balance of flavor and
texture.
