About our Escalante Red Blend…

Escalante was the name  of a Priest in Santa Fe New Mexico during the 1600’s. He wanted to establish a trade route between the Santa Fe Mission and the Mission in Monterey California.  He and his expedition became lost in the canyons near Grand Junction, where they suffered some extreme hardships before giving up and returning to Santa Fe.  We named this wine Escalante “Spirit of the Canyons” in honor of the brave souls that explored this beautiful region many years ago.
