Wine maker notes Introducing Six Spot Red Wine, an enticing additionto the Predator Wines family. Some farmers believe that finding a ladybug with six spots signals a bountiful harvest. And, since ladybugs consume crop-damaging aphids, even the least superstitious grower welcomes them, six - spotted or not. Six Spot Red Wine is sourced from the renowned Lodi Appellation. Our commitment to sustainable growing practices helps ensure the health and vitality of our select vineyards. “Natural Predation” is an eco-friendly strategy to control harmful critters in the vineyards. Ladybugs, a natural insect predator, along with predator mites, feed on destructive aphids. Ladybugs would suggest pairing this Red Wine with fresh aphids or mites - but we recommend short ribs or a delicious Osso Buco.
Producer Three Generations Committed to Sustainability and the Crafting of Fine Wines Growing premium grapes has been a tradition in our family for the past fifty years. For three generations we have explored and cultivated some of our state’s finest vineyards and farmlands resulting in a portfolio of wines that represents the rich diversity of California’s outstanding appellations. Today, that portfolio includes Rutherford Ranch Winery, Scott Family Estate, Predator Wines, Lander-Jenkins Wines, Rhiannon, Silver Buckle, Round Hill and extensive Private Label offerings. Along with our dedication to family owned and family farmed, we are also committed to sustainably farming, producing and bottling our wines. Our Rutherford Ranch Winery and estate vineyards are certified sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. We know that responsible farming is good for the land, good for the grapes and ultimately good for the wine. Our winemaking philosophies have been critically acclaimed nationwide, including best values from Robert Parker, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator and Decanter Magazine. In addition, Rutherford Ranch Winery was named ’Napa Winery of the Year’ at the 2013 New York International Wine Competition. Every harvest brings us new knowledge and understanding to apply and fine tune our growing and production process which, we feel, reflects in our wines and their purity of flavor distinct to their site.
