Horse & Plow North Coast Draft Horse Red 2023

The backbone here is Carignane from hundred-year-old vines in the hills west of Ukiah, the kind of gnarled old planting that usually gets pulled out for something more fashionable. Horse & Plow bought the fruit instead, blended it with Grenache from the historic Block House Vineyard in Yountville, roughly 60/40 in 2023, and made the house red they actually drink. The old Carignane brings structure, spice and savory depth; the Grenache brings the juice. Certified organic fruit, nothing added, no fuss. The blend shifts a little every vintage, which is rather the point.

Wine Enthusiast

90 points

"Excellent bottling from a stellar producer known for using organic grapes in their projects. This red Rhone blend is lively and fresh, with aromas of plum, dark cherry, sage, and black tea on the nose. The palate is youthful raspberry, rhubarb, white pepper, and a dry yet mouthwatering finish." —Tonya Pitts
