Winemaker Notes: 

"Travelling by train through southern France many years ago, we had a chance to really explore the wines of that region. We discovered wines that showed forward fruit without the overwhelming, jammy character often found in New World wines. Once home in Sonoma Valley, guided by our memories of those delightful French wines, we created our own red blend of estate Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes. We chose the name Chemin de Fer, a French phrase that means railroad, to honor the path that led us to this wine. The label painting depicts our steam train as it meanders through the Syrah vineyard. Deep garnet in color, this wine has aromas of raspberry and spice, followed with mouth-watering berry flavors that harmonize with soft, supple tannins for a smooth finish. It is a well-balanced wine that is easy to pair and easy to drink; one that reminds us of relaxing, laidback European train trips."
