VINTAGE NOTES
Although we were met with several hurdles, from historical fires to a global pandemic, we will forever recall the vintage to be one of resilience, perseverance, and unity. Shifts in temperature throughout the season resulted in shorter hangtime and lower yields, but the fruit retained bright acidity, resulting in lively wines. Our diligence in testing coupled with a dedicated team proved key to navigating 2020. While quantity may be a bit lessened, quality will not.
WINEMAKING NOTES
Classic, labor-intensive, small-lot winemaking techniques implemented. Four-day cold-soak, hand punch downs for two weeks in open-top fermenters. Aged in 45% new French oak for 12 months.
TASTING NOTES
Classic and ripe with deep blue and purple fruit, notes of currant, fresh blackberry, bramble, and peppercorn. Interlaced with wet stone and earth, over touches of elderflower and vanilla with with fervent, yet silky integrated tannins.
