Winemaker Notes
Bright notes of fresh cherries, dried cranberries, and orange zest are followed by layers of floral violet and lavender, sage and cedar wood, and a hint of black licorice. The interplay of fruit and spice continues on the palate joined by a lively acidity. Finally, the rustic structure of the wine carries it to a satisfying caramel finish that lingers and lingers.
Blend: 45% Grenache, 19% Tempranillo, 18% Malbec, 9% Mourvedre, 9% Zinfandel

Wine Enthusiast
Black cherry, milk chocolate, cola, mint and rust show on the nose of this blend of 45% Grenache, 19% Tempranillo, 18% Malbec, 9% Mourvèdre and 9% Zinfandel. That iron element extends to the palate, where dark cranberry and pomegranate fruit shows enough through clay-like minerality. Although dense, it offers lighter accents to keep it lively.
ONX (pronounced "onyx") believes in freedom, creative expression and exploration. A combination of time-honored winemaking traditions and a penchant for adventure result in unique blends that are as pleasing to the palate as they are intriguing to the intellect. The Olson Family has been committed to farming and real estate for over a century. With ONX Estate Winery, the family continues its farming activities much the same way their Scandinavian grandparents did more than 100 years ago.
Unhindered by convention, the ONX Winemaking Team strives to create balanced wines that reflect both the place the grapes were grown and the vintage in which they were born. From rule breaking to blind blending, each vintage of ONX Wines is completely different, yet delightfully cohesive. There is a French term, elevage, which is applied to wine and it translates to “the educating or upbringing” of wine like parents do with their children. ONX likes to extend that notion into the vineyard and believes that the vines can be trained into producing the best possible fruit for wine production.
