Las Positas
Las Positas sits in Livermore Valley, a historic wine region in the San Francisco Bay area of California's Central Coast. The winery focuses on red wines that reflect the valley's warm, sun-exposed terrain. Its Estate Cabernet Franc demonstrates the precision possible from the variety in this microclimate, while the Estate Obscurus Red Blend and Estate Coccineous—a four-grape blend of Petite Sirah, Shiraz, Tempranillo, and Malbec—show the winery's approach to structured, complex reds. Wine Enthusiast has rated across the portfolio. The wines balance ripeness with acidity, characteristic of Livermore Valley's diurnal temperature swings and well-draining soils.
