Ménage à Trois red brings together three strange bedfellows: Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. To add complexity and retain character, each variety was fermented separately, then blended together prior to bottling. On top we’ve got Zinfandel, a saucy tease that brings blackberry and raspberry jam to the relationship. Merlot, with its generous mouth feel and red fruits, fits perfectly in the middle. The rich flavors and firm tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon make it the ideal candidate for the bottom layer of the trio.

Named for the French term meaning “shared fantasies,” Folie à Deux wines represent the fulfillment of a dream to create a beautiful dance of flavors and true varietal expression. Each section of our Napa Valley vineyards produces its own optimal quality Cabernet which is harvested and then blended together to create an unforgettable, luxurious vintage Cabernet Sauvignon.

With the same commitment to land and technique, we also craft exceptional Zinfandels from some of Amador County’s oldest vines. Recent varietal additions to the Folie à Deux portfolio have allowed us to continue our tradition of innovation—the keystone to our winery’s philosophy for over twenty years.
