Lisa Drinkward and Francoise Peschon were introduced to each other by their children and became fast friends. They, in fact, liken their philosophy about wine to their philosophy of raising children, and named their wine "Entre Deux Meres" (between two mothers, in this case), "Give them a lot of tender loving care, nuture always, then let them go on to express themselves and become the unique individuals they were meant to be." They believe that gentle handling and minimalist intervention yields unique wines that are elegant and balanced -- a true expression of the roots.
The wine is made by both Francoise Peschon and Lisa Drinkward. Peschon is also the winemaker at Araujo vineyards in Napa, while Drinkward is the wife of Les Behrens (of Behrens & Hitchcock). In fact, the wine is made at Behrens & Hitchcock on Spring Mountain.
The wine is produced in miniscule quanties, The 2000 vintage was the first they produced, and their Cabernet Sauvignon is the only wine they bottle.
2014 Vintage Scores:
Blended of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple in color and hits the dance floor with crushed blueberries, crème de cassis and chocolate-covered cherries notes followed by suggestions of yeast extract, smoked meats and fragrant soil plus a touch of camphor. Full-bodied, concentrated and with a solid frame of ripe, grainy tannins, it has a refreshing line lifting the densely packed fruit, finishing very long. 750 cases produced.
