Erna ScheinThe Road Les Traveled NV Red Blend California

Behrens Family Winery

Our first-ever non-vintage wine, The Road Les Traveled is exciting, fun and approachable. Vibrant, ruby red in color with a nose of violets, blackberry blossoms and cassis, this is an inspired multi-varietal, multi-vintage blend that only Les would create. With complex flavors of chocolate-covered cherries and blueberry pie, this wine according to Robin ‘is drinkin’ wine!’ Enjoy!

40% Petite Sirah, 15% Syrah, 15% Tempranillo, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. 571 cases produced.

The Story
In 2005, with the announcement of Bob & Lily’s retirement, Lisa and Les bought out the Hitchcocks' share of their Spring Mountain winery, leading to the formation of Erna Schein Handcrafted Wines. The name Erna Schein is a dedication to Les’ mother, a woman who was near and dear to all who knew her. Her home was a place of hospitality and friendship, a feeling that we try to replicate here at the winery. She was also a fantastic baker, taking after her mother who was a Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef. It is Erna’s original vintage Kitchen Aid pictured on our label. It reminds us that food and wine is our favorite way to create and maintain friendships.
