FROM THE WINEMAKER

“The term “Chimera” has come to describe a mythical creature perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible or dazzling. With that in mind, I selected varieties that might not normally be blended together to create this wine. Aromas of sun-warmed blackberries and hints of baking spices are present on the nose. Silky tannins upon entry are enhanced by bold black fruit flavors that deliver a full-bodied, plush finish.”

– Stephanie Pope, Winemaker

TECHNOLOGY AND WINEMAKING

Our Lions Head Cellar houses some of the most progressive winemaking technology allowing our winemakers to craft wines of exceptional quality that showcase the distinctive lands from which they come. The winemakers leverage tools like our optical sorter, which ensures only the highest quality berries are delivered to the fermentation tanks; and cutting-edge tanks, which facilitate 24/7 monitoring of pumpovers and micro-adjustments to be made throughout the winemaking process.
