| About LeVois Vineyards The name "LeVois" has a New Orleans French connection. My father was born on a bayou and raised in the French Quarter. In New Orleans he learned at an early age that a glass of wine was part of every dinner. He passed that tradition on to his sons. This history has influenced the style of the Estate grown LeVois Vineyards wine - above all food friendly, supple, and well balanced with enough acidity to pair well with spicy and more acidic dishes. I have been a home winemaker making wine for my friends and family for many years. In 1992, I started looking for a favorably situated mountainside parcel where I could grow my own grapes. I found it on a ridge with a Southern exposure overlooking Healdsburg and Dry Creek Valley. The combination of elevation, exposure, and red acidic soil produces wines that are fruity, elegant, and complex. I terraced the hillsides, planted and tended the vines, and sold most of my grapes. After a decade of watching the wines made from LeVois Vineyards fruit win awards, in 2005 I decided to keep my grapes and make my own commercial wine. The LeVois Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon are both supple, spicy, fruit forward wines, with balanced tannins and acid structure that make them very suitable for aging. Whether you drink them now or put them back you will be happy with the result. |
