For Hansen, it's a chance to recreate a style of wine that's largely disappeared from California — an uncomplicated, vibrant red meant for the table, not the cellar.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leo Hansen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry-farmed and organically farmed (not certified)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Field blend led by Grenache and Carignan, with smaller amounts of Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, and French Colombard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTERROIR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redwood Valley AVA, Mendocino County.
