Jeff Runquist crafts balanced wines that are delightful in their youth yet promise complexity with age. Jeff's approach centers on selecting grapes from vineyards that yield rich, full flavors without harsh tannins, resulting in vibrant wines brimming with varietal character. With a knack for zest, Jeff rarely revisits previous vintages once a new release is out—a perk for his father, who enjoys the older bottles.
Take the 2022 Carignane, for instance—a varietal often overlooked despite its rich history. This wine boasts a ruby-purple hue with garnet highlights, presenting aromas of plums, marionberry, and red currants with a touch of dusty chalkiness. It's a delightful testament to the magic that happens when expert hands and exceptional grapes come together. Cheers!
