Winemaker Notes

This alluring blend of mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah command your attention with aromas of blueberry, plum, violets, lavender and anise, as well as savory hints of cracked pepper, leather and black olive. On the Cabernet-driven palate, flavors of crushed rocks, cinnamon, anise and cocoa powder add complexity to the generous dark berry flavors, with firm tannins and bright acidity adding polish to a long, resonant finish.

Production

The 2021 growing season started with a very dry winter, with almost no rain in the month of February. Due to the lack of moisture, there were more frost events, which when combined with an extended period of bloom led to some shatter during cluster formation, resulting in smaller overall yields. Summer brought ideal temperate weather ensuring that the grapes were able to achieve excellent ripeness. While harvest was fairly compressed, with both white and red grapes coming into the winery at the same time, the quality of the fruit was exceptional, producing a stunning vintage of beautifully concentrated wines with deep, alluring colors.
