Description
2021 produced some of the best fruit in recent years. Early rain, then almost no notable precipitation for the rest of the season, provided an ideal environment. The summer saw early and even ripening. Low yields created small berries with intense flavor. Harvest began early at the end of August. With optimal ripening, our winemakers could take their time bringing in the grapes. The wine has fantastic character with aromatic intensity and tremendous balance and structure that are equally lush and fruity. A tremendous year to experience the nuances and terroir distinction from around the valley.
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 9% Malbec, 5% Merlot.
Tailored winemaking for each varietal captures the personality of the vintage and vineyard blocks. Optical sorting, cold soaking, gentle pumpovers, and in-barrel malolactic fermentation contribute to the richly textured, complex flavors. Aging in 60% new French oak barrels for 22 months complemented the wine’s impressive depth and freshness.
