These sun-soaked stones store heat during the day and release it at night, helping the Mourvèdre and its companions reach perfect ripeness while retaining freshness thanks to the mistral winds. The blend in 2018 is based on approximately 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, 10–15% Syrah and the balance Counoise, all farmed biodynamically and trained in traditional gobelet bush vines. Harvesting is done by hand, with rigorous selection in the vineyard and at the winery. Each grape variety is vinified separately; fermentations are carried out in temperature-controlled vats, typically with a mix of traditional techniques that preserve both fruit purity and structure. After fermentation, the components are aged—often in large oak foudres and selected barrels—before blending, allowing each cépage to contribute its own textural and aromatic signature.

The long, warming finish is dominated by spicy American oak tones—vanilla, coconut, baking spices—and a persistent note of roasted nuts.

The terroir is defined by sandy loam soils rich in calcareous sandstone, which provide excellent drainage, reduce vigor, and help concentrate flavors in the late-harvested grapes. Fruit is left on the vine for an extended period so the berries can fully ripen and partially desiccate, naturally concentrating sugars and phenolics before picking. In line with the traditional style of Vino Noble from Vinos Alicante DOP, the wine is not fortified; fermentation proceeds until the natural alcohol and residual sugar find their own balance. This cuvée is a blend of 25% 2003 vintage, aged for 20 years in semi-new American oak barrels, and 75% 2018 vintage, aged 3 years in American oak.

The focus is on healthy, expressive fruit, often from sustainably or organically farmed parcels, harvested at optimal maturity to preserve both freshness and depth. In the cellar, the philosophy is one of gentle intervention: grapes are sorted meticulously, fermentation is conducted in temperature-controlled vessels to preserve aromatics, and extraction is managed with a light hand to emphasize finesse over power. Aging typically takes place in a combination of inert vessels and used oak, allowing the wine to gain texture and harmony without being dominated by wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis red is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled steaks, duck breast, and hearty dishes such as cassoulet or slow-braised beef.

Crafted by Neyers, a Napa Valley estate known for its nuanced, food-friendly wines, this cuvée offers both immediate pleasure and intriguing complexity. Named after the Sage Canyon area near the Neyers winery, it reflects a long-standing passion for Rhône-style blends in California.\n\nIts unique charm lies in a blend that typically includes Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah from historic vineyards, many planted decades ago. These old vines deliver concentration without heaviness, giving the wine its signature balance of ripe fruit, spice, and savory detail.

As it evolves in the glass, notes of plum, licorice, and a touch of warm earth and garrigue add complexity.\n\nOn the palate, this is medium to medium-plus bodied, with supple tannins and bright, mouthwatering acidity that keep the wine energetic rather than heavy. Juicy red and dark fruit are framed by savory spice, hints of olive and tobacco leaf, and a gentle, stony minerality on the finish. The structure is refined enough to drink beautifully now, especially with food, but there is enough backbone and freshness for several more years of positive evolution; expect a comfortable drinking window of roughly 5–8 years from the vintage, depending on your preference for primary fruit versus more developed, secondary notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Neyers is based in Napa Valley, Sage Canyon is typically sourced from select, often dry-farmed, older vineyards in cooler and slightly higher-elevation sites well-suited to Rhône varieties.

Harvest is usually carried out by hand to ensure careful selection of bunches and optimal ripeness for each variety in the blend. In the cellar, Neyers favors a relatively natural approach: gentle handling of the fruit, fermentation with a portion of whole clusters where appropriate to enhance spice and structure, and aging in mostly neutral or lightly used oak to avoid overshadowing the fruit and terroir character.
