From the winery:
Vintage 2021 was one of the longest ripening seasons for the past two decades. Seasons are starting earlier due to lack of water; creating early warm Spring soil temperatures. This is evened out with the August cooling trend at veraison. However, there was the heat spike over Mother's Day weekend which restricted the berry expansion. Yields were lighter with small berries and small clusters. All this led to unusually dense concentration.
This highly acclaimed vineyard produces classic wine with dark cassis and blackberry notes. It is reminiscent of a fine Bordeaux from Pauillac. Its fine-grained tannins are strong, yet polished, making it wonderful for drinking today or for saving for a special occasion in the future. Pair with traditional seared filet of beef, Osso Bucco, or lamb lollipops with rosemary demi-glaze.
