Bieler Family Born to Run is the culmination of Charles’ last 20 years – piecing together his origin story and tradition-bending blend of two states where he’s been producing wine for a decade-plus each. He had always remarked that the black fruit and structure of Washington Cabernet Sauvignon would be well complimented by the softer, lush, red fruit profile from California. Cross-state blending is rarely done in a quality way, but Charles is un-deterred.

A robust California Pinot Noir, vibrant red with sagey herbaceousness and dark fruit notes in a crisply acidic, well-rounded body.

Among the grippier wines on our shelves, this is "quintessential" Amador County wine. Aged in 15% new American oak, with bramble berries and fruit leather nestled in notes of dried flowers and baking spices, this is a hearty drink for hearty meals.
