About Comanche Cellars
“Comanche Cellars is on California’s Monterey Peninsula, where we take advantage of the incredible wealth of vineyards that can be found in almost every direction. All throughout the Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, San Antonio Valley and Santa Cruz Mountains AVA’s, there are winegrowers and winemakers producing incredibly beautiful wines that, we think, can and will rival the best the world has to offer.”

The Comanche

TASTING NOTES:
Petite Sirah - “This Petite Sirah has deep rich flavors and velvety tannins. New to our portfolio, this single varietal wine is big, bold and full bodied with aromas of dark fruit, vanilla and bay leaf.” (AbV 13.5%)

Cabernet Franc - “This special single varietal wine starts with a bouquet of spice and raspberry leading into notes of dusty plums, turned earth with soft tannins and an almost savory finish. Impressive and elegant, this wine is perfect for any important occasion.” (AbV 12.7%)

BARRELS:
27 - 28 months in French oak, 50% new.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The Comanche Native American tribe are currently headquartered in Lawton, OK, but in the past had spread around the southern part of the Great Plains down to northern Mexico. As it would so happen, Comanche is not the name they would call themselves. It was actually a Spanish transliteration of the Ute word kɨmantsi which seems to have meant “enemy.” So, it basically became the norm to call them enemies in another language, because of course it did. Feels like this sort of thing happened often when it came to European settlers asking one tribe what another was called. What the Comanche called themselves was Nʉmʉnʉʉ, which was literally “the people” in their own language.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
N/A

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Meeting someone you don’t know at a party, asking your friend who they are, only for your friend to reply “some asshole,” which you and later everybody else will consequently refer to as “some asshole” going forward.
