Blended exclusively from our single vineyard sites in similar proportions, Circle of Fifths captures the strengths of these vineyards in one wine – carefully crafted and fine-tuned over myriad blending sessions. These wines were getting lost in the regional expression, and with the Fifths, these sites come together to tell a new story.
“Where the Single Vineyard wines are the pure tones of each vineyard, Circle of Fifths is the chord.” – Melanie Chester
The name is a nod to music theory’s circle of fifths – a sequence of perfect intervals used to build harmony. It also reflects our roots: Giant Steps was named after John Coltrane’s groundbreaking jazz album, and this release continues that spirit of creative progression.
