Greyscale Wines produces hand-crafted premium winesTrade Notes

Bordeaux-styled wines is our primary focus at Greyscale Wines. Our goal with our Cuvée Blanc is a new world take on a Bordeaux Blanc that blends barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc with Semillon. This combination creates a rich, complex wine with many layers of flavor. Our Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and the other typical varietals of Bordeaux - Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec. The end result is a classic California Cabernet that is similar to a left-bank Bordeaux Rouge. In 2014, we introduced our Napa Valley Merlot.

We loved the elegant, well-balanced wines from Bordeaux. We also believe the best wines pair well with the fresh local food pioneered in California – our dream is to create elegant Bordeaux-style wine using California grapes.

Currently, our wines are available through our website and select wine shops/restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area. Information on our wines and vineyard sources is below. If you have specific questions not addressed in the resources below, please feel free to contact us by phone or email.
