Tasting Notes
Displaying its deep ruby color, this wine leads with plum-blueberry compote with notes of Sencha tea and vanilla. The wine evolves gradually in the glass to reveal subtle hints of tobacco leaf. Introduction to the palate is dynamic, inviting the exploration of ripe, round tannins that create a structure that is generous yet balanced in design. The wine concludes with a very fresh, long, and aromatic finish.
Vintage Notes
A welcomed rainfall just before bloom set the stage for excellent fruit set for a small 2020 crop. Strong canopy growth offered the fruit protection from the short spells of summer heat as the season progressed toward an early and brief harvest. All fruit was harvested by hand in just under two weeks, commencing September 12th and ending on September 25th.

Tasting Notes
This powerful wine boasts a deep, rich color that foreshadows its complex and captivating flavor profile. Layers of nuanced taste unfold, featuring distinct notes of red currant, blackberry, and blueberry. The wine’s structure is impressive, showcasing a remarkable balance that seamlessly combines rounded textures with a well-defined framework. This harmonious interplay between strength and finesse makes for a truly refined and satisfying tasting experience.
Vintage Notes
Welcomed rainfall in January and March nourished the soil for healthy bud break. Warmer May temperatures advanced bloom, leading to exceptional Summer growing conditions. Small canopies aided slow and steady sugar accumulation, resulting in a modest yield of exquisite quality. All fruit was hand-harvested over a 30 day period commencing September 6th.
