Cane & Fable is a joint venture between winemakers Curt Schalchlin and Andrew Jones.  Curt is owner and vintner of Sans Liege and is known for his critically acclaimed, yet affordable wines. Andrew, winemaker of Field Recordings spends his days planning and planting vineyards and is familiar with just about every vineyard on the Central Coast. Together, they produce Cane & Fable, a collaboration that gives special attention to the craft and story behind each wine.

Carpe Vino has featured entries from both wineries as well as the Cane & Fable Cabernet Sauvignon.  This is the first vintage of merlot produced by the label.

Winery Tasting Notes:   “Back from the dead, the 2013 Merlot has a classic claret character. Black tea, northland blueberries and wet concrete. The silky texture slides gracefully across the palate leaving behind hints of sweet plumbs, warm cedar planks, and freshly ground spices. As the wine glides towards the finish, you’re grateful for friends and excited for the future.”
