About

FROM THE WINEMAKER

"Seductive aromas of cherry cordial and plush, dark fruits rise from the glass gracefully accented by layers of vanilla and exotic spice. The palate enters seamlessly with round, velvety tannins unfolding into refined notes of cedar and cigar box at midpalate. The finish is long and elegant, revealing ripe plum and lingering cherry nuances that leave a lasting, polished impression.”
–Stephanie Pope, Winemaker

VINTAGE NOTES

Vintage 2021 delivered superb results. Spring was marked by occasional rains, which brought welcome soil saturation, and cooler temperatures, allowing fruit to mature at a steady pace. Summer helped the grapevines ripen completely and conditions continued to be almost ideal throughout August and September. The warm days and cool nights of the fall season allowed gradual sugar accumulation and longer hang times, promising fruit of the highest quality with structural beauty. With a slightly later harvest and a smaller crop yield, fruit was picked at its peak, for a small yet mighty vintage promising exceptional flavor in bottle.

PAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS

Something so powerful needs a companion that can also stand tall, so this is clearly a case where a bit of grilled, charred medium rare beef of the highest quality, presented with wild fennel, caramelized onions and leafy, earthy greens would be simply wonderful.
