MCV Wines opened its doors in 2011 with the purchase of four and a half tons of some of the highest quality Petite Sirah to be found in the Paso Robles AVA. Matt Villard eagerly jumped on the opportunity for these grapes and swiftly discovered an incredible wine making facility where he could in turn create his wines. Before harvest was over he found three more tons of Petite Sirah as well as some Grenache and Syrah totalling around 10 tons for 2011. Matt Villard is happy to say that they are still happily working with both the same original Petite Sirah vineyard and wine making facility.
Here at MCV, they focus on unique and interesting blends that revolve around Petite Sirah. This wonderfully dark and rich grape is smooth, elegant and delicious yet, bold, powerful and age-able. It has the unique ability to be made in various styles that can be used to create multiple wines from the same grapes. Their first two production years yielded around 500 cases each vintage. However, 2013 saw a small increase due to incorporating new grape varietals into the program and a couple new blends.

Tenuta di Arceno is a 2,500 acre estate nestled in the rolling hills of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany.
Once an ancient Etruscan settlement, the estate has 220 acres planted under vine, leaving the rest of the land
to rolling hills of olive groves, open fields, and forests inhabited by wild boar and truffles. Arcanum La Porta
is composed entirely of Sangiovese sourced from the estate’s prized La Porta Vineyard. This single variety,
single vineyard wine holds its head high as a worthy homage to the great tradition of wine in Tuscany.
TASTING NOTES
The nose has floral tones reminiscent of rose petals, sweet plums and a hint of
cassis and vanilla. On the palate, the entrance is soft but defined by firm fresh
acidity with flavors of raspberries and our trademark flavor of the La Porta
Vineyard, candied orange peel. The finale is long with notes of cinnamon spice,
and mild cedar on the finish.
