$48
Description
This vintage is a composite blend of the steepest hillside blocks that sit on Monterey formation rock bed. This site is naturally devigored and makes for concentrated, small clusters that achieve stem lignification early on. The grapes were fermented with 100% whole-cluster with light extraction during fermentation. The wine was pressed in our wooden basket press at dryness and aged for 10 months in neutral french oak barrels before being racked for the first time to bottle, unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur used. 302 cases were produced.
This wine is gorgeous. Bold and elegant, with spiced red fruit alongside wild roses on the palate. Complex and interesting, you'll get something different with every sip.
