They say, \"With this in mind, being good stewards of the vineyards and the ecosystems within them is our top priority. Everything else falls into place more easily afterwards.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe're big fans of the restrained, refreshing wines of Thereafter, along with their focus on next-level farming, both unusual things for the Napa\/Sonoma regions where they work and source grapes.  This red blend reminds us of classic, old-school Napa red blends of yesteryear, before they got stuffed full of chemicals, additives and alcohol.  The generous fruit is crunchy and rustic but the tannins are friendly.  There is a lovely earthiness and structure to the wine, but no sensation of oak.  Its an excellent, all-purpose red that nearly everyone would enjoy, with food, no chilling required.  Stock up for summer grilling situations.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242682175771,"sku":"bsp1792016099904","price":19.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1029\/3923\/0491\/files\/2018-thereafter-sandy-lane-red_1.jpg?v=1792016105","url":"https:\/\/closetrodcladwear.shop\/products\/2018-thereafter-sandy-lane-red","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
