Post & Vine 2019 Field Blend Testa Vineyard

The Wine

Fruit for the Old Vine Field Blend comes from 60-year-old (average), head-trained vines rooted in rocky, well-draining soils in the heart of Mendocino County.  

On the nose, aromas of ripe black cherry, damp earth, and hints of rose petal carry over to the mouth and harmoniously mesh with flavors of blackberry, pomegranate, dried leaves, and a hint of sweet spice. The palate is plush and powerful, yet balanced by well-integrated tannins and ample amounts of natural acidity.

Post & Vines Old Vine Field Blend comes from Testa Vineyard, a certified Organic (CCOF certified) and Biodynamic (Demeter) site now in its sixth generation of Testas - quite a lot for a New World grower!.

The Winery

Post & Vine was founded by Rebekah Wineburg and Erica Schubert-Kincaid in 2012. They each fell in love with wine after visiting Napa Valley and being awestruck by its, well, its 'everything'. Years later, by 2005, each had found their way into the wine business and their paths crossed while working in production for Rudd Estate.  The two shared a passion for historic vineyard sites in northern California. While their friendship was immediate, it took another seven years before they started Post & Vine together.

Today, Post & Vine continues to share that original dream with the world through their artisanal, terroir-specific wines. They exclusively work with sustainably-farmed old vines and implement a meticulous, low-intervention mentality in the cellar. The resulting wines are joyful, honest, and deeply speak to their place of origin.

“With a focus on small historical vineyards that have been managed sustainably by committed stewards, Post & Vine wine aims to tell a great story with every glass.”
