The aroma features tones of blueberry, blackberry, black tea, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, you’ll experience dark fruit, black pepper, and baking spices, accompanied by smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering, dry finish.
The 2022 Vintage
2022 was a beautiful year, consisting of a cool spring and summer ended with a heat spike in August to finish ripening the fruit. We had a much later harvest than normal but the long growing cycle allowed us to produce exceptional fruit!
Estate Vineyard
As you go from North to South on the estate the soils change dramatically from rocky loam to very rocky, with stones the size of baseballs. The Grenache, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah all have sections of their blocks in this part of the ranch. The vines struggle there becasue of the soil resulting in small berries and intense flavors.
