Broc Cellars Love Red 2017 is a field-blend-style red sourced from two vineyards in Solano County's Green Valley: Parenti Vineyard, which supplies the Carignan, and Wirth Ranch, which provides the Valdiguie, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines are approximately 70 years old, dry-farmed, head-pruned, and grown in clay loam soils. The fruit was harvested in the second week of September to lock in natural acidity at 12.5% ABV.
The Carignan and Syrah were whole-cluster fermented and then destemmed in concrete and stainless tanks. The Valdiguie went through carbonic fermentation in stainless steel, a technique that extracts bright fruit and preserves freshness. The finished wine aged for 8 months in a combination of concrete tanks and neutral French oak barrels. No commercial yeasts, enzymes, or additives were used at any stage.
The blend breaks down as 50% Carignan, 36% Valdiguie, 8% Syrah, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Carignan anchors the blend with blue and dark fruit; Valdiguie lifts the acidity and adds brightness; Syrah adds structure and depth. The result is a light-to-medium-bodied red with a fruity, floral nose, a fresh palate, and a subtly spicy, peppery finish.
