What is the Livermore Valley Vintner’s Collective? The (LVVC) is a group of 6 highly motivated, visionary winemakers in the Livermore Valley. Driven by collaboration and inspiration, we decided to begin a winemaking project wherein each year, the group is given a framework of varietals to work with, be it a recipe, to make a wine. Although the framework is the same, each winemaker’s blend is totally unique and made of their own wines - a representation of the specified grapes from the appellation, but with the fingerprints of each winemaker’s personality. Would you end up with 6 similar wines? Will they be drastically different? 

Due to the challenges of the 2020 growing season, we decided to make the 2020 blend with 5 wines, each wine being 20% of the blend. My unique blend is 20% each of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petite Sirah, Malbec and Barbera.
