“Three friends. Four cultures. One California sun.” Land of Saints is a collaboration between Angela and Jason Osbourne and Manuel Cuevas. These friends met in 2013 and started their own venture to show the three different corners of the world they come from (New Zealand, England, and Mexico) and their combined love of both California and its wine - a true passion project. This organic Merlot is plump, juicy, and textbook California Merlot. It has a medium body that boasts black cherry and bursting ripe plum on the palate, accompanied by savory roasting spices due to 14 months spent in french barrique before bottling under December’s new moon.

PAIRING: PORKCHOPS WITH BLUEBERRY SUMAC COMPOTE
