Francis Ford Coppola 2018 California Votre Sante Pinot Noir, 1 Bottle: “We believe that a wine has a lot to say,“ says winemaker Francois Cordesse. “It’s our job to help a wine express itself -- in this case, to speak to its origins in California’s coolest terroirs.“

Irony 2018 Monterey Pinot Noir, 1 Bottle: Monterey is known for world class Pinot Noir, largely attributed to the strong maritime influence of the Monterey Bay. Beginning with aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and cocoa, supple tannins and balanced acidity are complemented on the palate with lush black fruit flavors and hints of soft toasted oak. Put your feet up and pour yourself a glass or serve with grilled salmon and arugula salad or roasted rosemary chicken.

Farmstrong Field Rosé, 1 Bottle: Loaded with vibrant lively fruits, it is summer in a glass:  ripe strawberries, honey tangerine, camellia blossom. This wine is inviting, happy, easy going and relaxing… like a walk in the park on a sunny day. 

The Farmstrong Field Rose is the result of an intentional rose program, picked expressly for rose and 100% whole cluster pressed.

This blend is from two vineyard sites in northern Mendocino’s Redwood Valley: Carignane from the 80 year old vines in Hawkeye Ranch (50%), Zinfandel (50%) from 48 year old vine in KenMar Vineyard. Hawkeye Ranch is owned and farmed by the Johnsons, who are 5th generation growers and true stewards of the land.  KenMar is owned and Farmed by Ken and Margo Schrock.

The fruit from both the Carignane and Zinfandel is balanced and beaming with bright flavors at lower sugars, allowing me to harvest at lower sugars and retain the lovely natural acidity, vibrant red fruits and floral notes. By gently pressing whole clusters, extraction is very delicate, allowing her soft pretty nature to shine through.

Farmstrong Field White, 1 Bottle: Farmstrong Field White is a dynamic blend of Chardonnay from Johnson Family Ranch (Fish Friendly Farming) and Chenin Blanc from Sterling Ranch (sustainably farmed on the Talmage Bench) in Mendocino county. Sustainably farmed grapes, together with precise, unmanipulated; thoughtful winemaking.

Field White is a great companion to food. With notes of ripe apple, stone fruit, along with tropical fruit accents, the wine's natural acidity is balanced for enjoyment by the glass, yet also works very well to complement a wide variety of food.

Irony Wines: Most of us didn't imagine where we would be right now. Sure, we dreamed of being firemen, astronauts, rock stars and superheroes, but life often takes you where you didn't expect it to. My brother and I worked every harvest from the time we could ride our bikes. After college, our careers took us beyond the land our grandfather planted in 1924.

Ironically, today we are more fulfilled, working side-by-side at the family vineyard & winery. We didn't plan it or expect it, but we are enjoying this strange twist in our lives.

That's Irony - a bottle full of life's strange twists and a celebration of our family's life-long commitment to producing the finest quality wines. --Chris & Jay 

Irony Wines

Farmstrong Wines are dynamic blends that tilt their hat to California’s diversity and history. They are expressions the vineyard sites are very special to me. I am a true believer in personal connection and there is a story behind each vineyard site and how it came to be part of my portfolio. In these stories you will learn more about the people behind these vineyards. I liken my connection to these vineyards to that of one’s favorite shirt or coffee mug or chair. Like a well worn fabric or a slightly chipped mug that may have initially caught my eye for its beauty, but over the years it has won my heart because it just feels right. When it comes to vineyards this happens too, and it is a combination of my connection with the vines themselves and my connection with those that tend them. For me the growers hands are most definitely part of the terroir.
