Lexington Wine Co. Blending Sessions Santa Cruz Mountains 2019 (750ml) *

The Santa Cruz Mountains sit above the fog line south of San Francisco, an appellation defined more by elevation than by any single grape, and its cooler, higher sites tend to yield wines with firm structure and a certain restraint. This 2019 bottling from Lexington Wine Co., the Blending Sessions, is exactly what its name suggests: a wine built from the assemblage rather than a single varietal, drawing on the mountain fruit that gives the region its backbone and freshness.
