Alonso Family Vineyard White Field Blend 2019

Angeleno Wine Company – White Field Blend 2019
Sierra Pelona Valley, California, USA 🇺🇸

Overview
A truly unique white field blend made of 35% Modelo, 35% Loureiro, and 30% Treixadura—all Iberian-origin grapes grown in the high-desert terroir of Los Angeles County’s Sierra Pelona Valley. Angeleno Wine Company specializes in rare plantings and unusual blends, making this wine both distinctive and a conversation starter.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh and fragrant, with notes of citrus blossom, pear, green apple, quince, and subtle stone fruit, accented by herbal and mineral undertones. Loureiro and Treixadura bring floral lift and aromatic complexity, while Modelo (native to Spain) adds body and texture.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with brisk acidity, a touch of salinity, and a rounded finish. Clean, refreshing, and balanced, with enough texture to give it character beyond a simple “porch-pounder.”

Winemaking Notes
Hand-harvested and co-fermented to reflect the authentic field blend tradition. Fermentation in stainless steel preserves freshness, while sur lie aging adds weight and mouth-coating texture.

Food Pairing
Excellent with ceviche, grilled shrimp, sushi, tapas, or even Mediterranean mezze. A versatile white that shines with seafood and bright vegetarian dishes.

Verdict
A rare and exciting expression of Los Angeles terroir. Complex yet approachable, this wine highlights Angeleno’s adventurous spirit and celebrates unusual grapes in California winemaking. A hidden gem worth seeking out.

Esola Vineyard Zinfandel 2023

Deep, rich berry nose accented by animal, feral notes. Not necessarily prototypical Zin characteristics. But really nice. On the palate, however, it’s more typical. Earthy, sandstoney blackberry fruit, really nice balance of richness, acids, and tannin. Very long finish. I love the Zins from this vineyard, but I think I heard somewhere this is the last vintage they’re making from here. 😥 — 4 months ago

California Crackler Albariño

Another extremely-limited release from Angelino Wines Co. (only 55 cases made). A rare and unique sparkling white made out of locally sourced 100% Albariño (Sierra pelona valley, CA) utilizing the Méthode Champenoise. Young and brilliant yellow hue, bright acidity, fine bubbles, sharp, refreshing and smooth and creamy flavors of yellow opal apple, grilled pineapple moderate long finish with a remarkable balance between fruityness and dryness. If you’re lucky to find it, get some, as this amplifies your taste buds like no other sparkling. Cheers! — 5 months ago

Shake Ridge Ranch Amador County Mourvèdre Rosé

A great transition wine for the first day that really felt like Spring in New York! Tavel-like, the 2024 Shake Ridge rosé is full bodied with more red notes than floral or white and stood up well next to grilled chicken. Definitely a ‘table rosé’ more than a poolside sipper, but worthy of a great spring meal or maybe a Thanksgiving dinner. — 6 months ago
