About the wine
Bold, barrel-aged Syrah-based red
- This velvety red blend is a refined medley of ripe raspberry and blueberry, with a light pinch of toasty spice thanks to generous aging in oak barrels.
- Your support gave Ondine access to Syrah, Petite Sirah and a bit of Grenache from her choice of vineyards across Mendocino, masterfully blending these powerhouse reds into one sultry showstopper just for you.
- Ondine's a Rhône-style blending expert, having made similar wines for legendary wineries like Ridge Vineyards. Now you help her channel that expertise into decadent reds like this from her favorite North Coast vineyards.
Best before
This is a blend of three of my favorite grapes and I deeply believe in the power of synergy in bringing these together. If you enjoy fruit forward wines this one would be optimally enjoyed within a year of release. To bring about the more subtle flavors and allow for greater integration of the three varieties, 6 to 12 months will reveal more complexity. Further cellaring for up to a couple of years should reward with a velvety mouthfeel. I am one to prize balance so my ideal stage for this wine would be 6 months to 2 years of cellaring before enjoying.
Serving advice
This is a wine that will benefit from some breathing time, a vinturi, or generous swirling in the glass. If you have the time and the patience open this one 30 minutes prior to serving. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the wine is not too warm before serving, it would be ideal to serve it around 68 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit.
Food match
As this wine is inspired by the great savory blends of the Rhone Valley (with a Mendocino twist) it is fundamentally designed to be paired with food. One of my favorites is a shrimp/crawfish boil with sweet corn, new potatoes, and andouille sausage. If you like some spice your boil, this wine can take up to a medium level of heat. This type of Boil naturally lends itself to social gatherings and good times and this wine is a crowd-pleaser.

Meet the winemaker - Ondine Chattan
Unmistakably one of the North Coast’s top winemaking talents, Ondine Chattan’s worked for wine institutions – famed wineries like Ridge Vineyards, Cline Cellars, and spent decades running famed Healdsburg winery Geyser Peak.
Does Geyser Peak sound familiar? It should – it’s the long-time winemaking home of one legendary Daryl Groom – and it’s where these decades-long colleagues and friends met. They’re still close… in fact, they might collaborate on exclusive wines now and again.*wink.*
Ondine is awestruck by the wine community Angels have built – and she wants to help it grow. “I truly connect to people through the wines I make,” she said. “The stories of the growers, the vineyards, and the process behind the wine are as vital to me as grapes.”
