The quality of this wine is obvious, the pedigree, the talent, but the blending which is what this wine represents (blending now FOUR Sonoma Valleys) is something that in the current wine market is seen less. That's because we have trained the current wine consumer to think that single vineyards are the best. And while it is true they can deliver a significantly distinct expression, it does not necessarily make it better. Just ask Maria Teresa of Bartolo Mascarello! Blending is an art, and in many ways helps guarantee quality of a wine as you take a little from each of the sources to together to achieve something that truly is greater as a whole than the sum of its parts.The Four (not Three Valleys)Alexander ValleyDry Creek ValleySonoma ValleyRussian River ValleyThree Valleys represents the blen
