Townshend doesn't rush wine
2005
Overview
Because of his enormous curiosity about wines, Townshend has experimented with blending his red wines and released a more value- oriented series of red blends at about half the price of his reserve wines ($15-$18). The Vortex is aged 24 months in barrel and is a blend of 48 percent cabernet sauvignon, 42 percent merlot and 10 percent cabernet franc from previous vintages in 2000 to 2003. \"I wanted to show nonvintage wines (a mix of wines from different years) can be just as tasty and classy as vintage wines,\" [Don Townshend] said. \"And, by blending older wine with younger wine, these are ready to drink now, but can still age tremendously. And, they have my signature in the bottle - they are big wines.\" In addition to his hearty red wines, Townshend produces a tasty Chenin Blanc ($15) - perfect for serving with seafood, an off-dry Riesling at less than $10 and one of the most popular huckleberry ports around. Other red wines include his reserve cabernet sauvignon and merlot ($30-$35), a sangiovese ($20) and a syrah ($20). These are definitely food wines, although the reserve wines are enjoyable with or without food.
