Clay Shannon's "The David" is a premium Bordeaux-style red blend from Lake County, California, crafted from 100% estate-grown, certified organic grapes. This wine is primarily composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with Sangiovese and Petite Sirah completing the blend, sourced from the winery's highest altitude hilltop blocks that are so steep they must be hand-pruned and hand-harvested.

The wine displays deep purple hues with complex aromas of black cherry, blackberry, sandalwood, clove, toasty spiced oak, and violets. On the palate, rich flavors of black plum, huckleberry, orange blossom, vanilla cream, and clove are layered with black peppercorn, espresso, tobacco leaves, and notes of coffee, cocoa, sage, and dark chocolate. The long, cool growing season in Lake County ensures optimal ripeness and refined tannins, resulting in a powerful structure and distinctive character with a long finish.

This wine has received critical acclaim, with Wine Enthusiast awarding the 2021 vintage 91 points and the 2020 vintage 92 points. Pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye steak and other hearty red meat dishes.
