Keep Wines Field Blend Vanderkous Vineyard 2021
We call this Vineyard the Volcano as it was planted on its own distinct peak (Solitude Peak) amongst the rolling Contra Costa Hills.
Dick & Mary Lou Vanderkous planted this extraordinary Vineyard over 20 years ago surrounding their home estate. The site is so steep that all vineyard work is done by hand. They decided to plant the grapes they loved to drink.
The majority of the Vineyard is planted to Sangiovese and the really steep hillside area is planted to Merlot.
Medium bodied with mellow tannins and a subtle peppery note.

Winemakers Johanna Jensen and Jack Roberts create bright and mineral driven wines influenced by the old world with minimal manipulation and great ageability. In the vigneron tradition, they do much of the work themselves from vineyard to bottling. Based out of Napa, they work with small, mostly certified organic vineyards from all over Northern California and have a passion for lesser known grape varieties.
The crest on the bottle is of Beverston Castle, an 11th century Norman stronghold in Gloucestershire, England where Jack’s father was born and raised. All that remains of Beverston today is what you see -the moat and the tall ‘keep’, (from the middle english kype, or barrel) which was the defenders’ last resort in a siege. It was also where they stored their most precious possessions, especially their wine.
