Item Description

Front Porch Farm, lying along a wild stretch of the Russian River due east of Healdsburg, is a place of harmony and nature; this is reflected in their wines. Taste for yourself with a package of 3 different Front Porch Farm bottles:

  • 2014 Russian River Mourvedre: Notes of hibiscus and blood orange are at the forefront of this complex wine, and supple tannins support a rich, intense, and fresh mouthfeel. Complexity develops further with nutty and dark fruit flavors that linger in an expansive finish.
  • 2014 Etched Label White: Frontporch White blend consists of 4 classic Rhne varieties: Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier. Grenache Blanc brings a subtle peach nose and anise flavors as well as firm phenolics and acidity. Roussanne contributes pear, almond aromatics and a round texture. Marsanne provides its melon aroma and a lighter mineral mouthfeel. Viognier, picked on the earlier side, adds some flowery and discreet apricot notes while fleshing up the mid-palate and lengthening the finish. With a bright, refreshing personality, this wine demonstrates great balance between its undeniable stone fruit component and a clean, acid driven and mineral mouthfeel.
  • 2014 Etched Label Red: This spicy Rhne blend showcases a broad structure with forward fruit and bold flavors. Cloves, pink peppercorns, black cherry, and raspberry liqueur dominate the fragrant nose. The mouthfeel is full and coating with enough acidity to keep you coming back for more.
