Tasting Notes
Displays an aromatic burst of plum, sun-dried strawberries, along with notes of leather, dried flowers and a hint of fig. On the palate are juicy, dark fruits, white pepper, and wet earth, all backed by a vibrant acidity. The soft tannins in this wine are complemented by a touch of “grit” provided by the small percentage of Petite Sirah blended into it. Two years in barrel have softened the palate and added aromas of vanilla, cedar, and clove.
Vineyard Notes
2022 was the last of three years of drought which was saved by a significant rainfall in April. This rain replenished the soil before a long summer allowing the vines to fully develop their canopy in the Spring, followed by a lengthy Summer of fruit development. Crop level, which is largely determined in the previous year was still very light. It was a relatively long, cool summer punctuated by a heat spike a couple weeks before harvest which ushered in the ripe fruit.
