"'Mirassou' is one of the more enduring, romantic and passionate names in California wine history. It represents six generations of grape-growing and winemaking, dating to 1854, when Pierre Pellier settled in Santa Clara Valley with a clutch of vine cuttings from his native France. In 1881, his oldest daughter, Henrietta, married a neighboring vintner, Pierre Huste Mirassou, who joined his father-in-law in tending vines and making wines, a business that finally evolved into the Mirassou brand of wines in 1966. Up to then, grapes grown and wines made by Mirassous were sold to other wineries. The Mirassous developed a reputation as maverick innovators by developing vineyards in uncertain territory (Monterey County) and by adopting uncertain viticultural practices (mechanical harvesting)."

California's heritage red, producing bold, brambly, high-alcohol wines of jammy dark fruit and spice, often from old vines.
