-Tasting Notes
The deep purple coloring instantly lures while generous aromatics of hibiscus, forest, and summer berries rise
from the glass. There is a bright palate with some tartness on the front, complemented by expressive layers of
dark plum, vanilla bean, and cocoa nibs with a hint of wet stone towards the finish.
-Vintage Overview
Cool spring weather resulted in a slow start to the 2019 growing season, but summer temperatures warmed
nicely, and the heat was even throughout July and August, with no significant spikes. Harvest was slow and
steady, with fall temperatures a little cooler than usual, giving grapes the added benefit of extended hang time to
reach full physiological maturity and develop excellent natural acidity. The resulting red wines are notable for
concentrated flavor and finesse
