Nove Vineyards is located on a southwest-facing, sun flooded hillside not far from the Konocti Volcano in Lake County. It boasts desirable deep red volcanic and well-drained loamy Sobrante soils. At a lofty elevation of 1,400 feet, this prime mountain site possesses all the key ingredients for growing premium wine grapes with beautifully intense aromas and flavors.
Having evolved geologically over thousands of years, our virgin soils possess a rich mineral complexity, which lends freshness and depth to our estate-grown wines. Along with our other unique site characteristics, this creates a distinctive terroir, a French term describing the interaction of soil, sun exposure, air flow, elevation and slope that constitutes a vineyard’s singular character. Our special terroir is expressed in the bright aromas, deep, rich flavors and pleasing texture that mark our Nove fine wines, artfully crafted from two classic grape varieties: Grenache, originating in the famed Southern Rhône Valley region of France, and Malbec from the Cahors district of southwestern France.
Both varieties are ideally suited to the growing conditions in our Lake County estate vineyard. The exceptional wines we craft from them – in very limited quantities – are made to be enjoyed with good food and friends and will age well for many years in your cellar.

Nove Vineyards 2017 Grenache
Our Grenache benefits from our estate vineyard’s rich volcanic soils and just the right amount of natural vine stress essential to developing deep, complex flavors. Capturing the eye with a bright, translucent, ruby red color, this 100% varietal Grenache offers bright aromas of cassis, cherry and blackberry married with plush, beautifully balanced berry flavors. Subtle spice notes of cocoa, anise and pepper add complexity while firm, yet supple tannins lend superb structure to the wine, which culminates in a long, smooth finish.
