Winemaker Notes
This wine showcases intriguing flavors of raspberry, cherry, pomegranate, white pepper, and garrigue, crafted from a blend of estate-grown Alban, Tablas, and #3 clones. The berries were meticulously cluster-sorted and cold-soaked for seven days, followed by a ten-day fermentation with native yeast. The caps were gently punched down by hand twice daily. Aged for nine months in neutral French oak barrels.
Blend: 100% Grenache

Wine Enthusiast
This is a serious wine, starting with cherry, strawberry and rose petal aromas that sail into an extremely textural palate of red fruit and pie crust flavors that are sliced by a rising acidity.

Wine & Spirits
Rich and heady with red-cherry scents and spicy berry flavors, this is warm-climate in style, with just enough of an earthy kick to hold together the richness.
