6 - 2013 Elder Rock Winemaker's Blend, Monterey
 
2013 Elder Rock Winemaker's Blend, Monterey
Our Winemaker’s Blend is blended to showcase the fully-integrated bright fruit character of each component. Aromas of blackberry, raspberry and strawberry are accented by rose floral notes and hints of mocha. The rich fruit flavors are dense with berry character, unfolding into a soft, lingering finish.
Place Matters
Millions of years ago, alluvial fans and flood plains containing rock and shale fragments were deposited along the Central Coast region of California. These ancient marine layers are evidenced today by the rocky terrain and soils that we call ‘elder loam’. At Elder Rock, we strive to craft wines that display the unique terroir and prehistoric roots of the land, wines that express a strong sense of place.
Winemaking
The grapes for this wine were destemmed, crushed and fermented separately by varietal. The grapes were pressed and the wine left to settle in stainless steel prior to being racked off the heavy lees. Post-fermentation, the wine was aged with a combination of French and American oak. During the blending process just prior to bottling, the proportion of each varietal was chosen to accentuate the richness of flavor and maximize depth, complexity, mouthfeel and finish.

“Quality is never an accident.  It is always the result of intelligent effort.” John Ruskin – artist, writer, philosopher (1819 – 1900)
 
To summarize the essence of a company in a one or two sentence mission statement is a daunting task. On the surface, our job at Scheid Vineyards is to supply our winery clients with the grapes they need at an acceptable price and at the highest quality possible. But it goes much deeper than that. For to supply a particular client with particular grapes implies an understanding of the specific wine and style being made and the knowledge of how to custom farm to achieve that profile. Say, a certain Sauvignon Blanc customer produces a grassy, herbaceous style of wine while another client aims for a more floral and fruitier character. Same grape, different approach. That’s where the “intelligent effort” part comes in.
 
Quality is a term that has been trivialized, used by purveyors from McDonald’s to Verizon to K-Mart. Genuine quality is harder to come by and does not mean simply well-made or acceptable. Real quality is that which is superior. It is the result of thought, analysis, communication, sweat and honest-to-God hard labor, succinctly stated by Mr. Ruskin as “intelligent effort”. True quality is giving each customer no less than exactly what they want and need.
 
It is never an accident.
