About the Wine
We’re delighted to welcome back Grenache from our Steel Plow Vineyard, a wine last crafted by Landmark more than a decade ago. Named for our founder’s great-great-grandfather, John Deere, inventor of the iconic steel plow, this wine is sourced from our Kenwood Estate in Sonoma, where rocky, sandy soils and a Rhône-like climate create ideal conditions for Grenache. Pair it with Neapolitan Margherita pizza or, for a more adventurous match, venison with savory cherry compote.
