Tournesol Proprietor’s Blend is grown at our estate vineyards located on a gently sloping hillside 300 feet above the valley floor, with soil comprised of fractured volcanic rock. This blend is composed of the 5 Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Tournesol vines enjoy cool breezes from the San Francisco Bay which provide ideal temperatures for gentle ripening. Since the first harvest in 2004, the blend varies depending on the growing season, development through fermentation, and barrel aging. Our flagship wine is known for its vibrant aromatics, freshness, intense color and concentration, complexity, and balance. Tournesol Proprietor’s Blend is enjoyable upon release, or if preferred, ages gracefully for 10-15 years.
