Winery Notes:

Serious and starting off tightly wound, our 2021 Estate Blend is begging for a decant or to be opened hours before consuming. Weighing more heavily on the savory, saline, and brine elements at first, the aromas start to evolve as this wine opens like a large hardback novel with the pages fanning out. Kalamata olives, leather, wet forest floor, and roasted game open to pure blackberry, black plum, tobacco, bay leaf, vanilla, anise, and graphite. Powerful structure juts out in all directions as the wine fills the mouth with abundant texture and spice. Keep this bottle open for several days and witness how long it continues to offer different perspectives and textures – a true harbinger of the age-worthiness of this wine.

– Jordan Fiorentini, Winemaker

Blend: 40% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre, 12% Grenache, 9% Graciano, 8% Tempranillo, 7% Carignan

Quite dense in the glass, this blend of 40% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre, 12% Grenache, 9% Graciano, 8% Tempranillo and 7% Carignan shows concentrated aromas of blackberry, black pepper and uplifting violet on the nose. The palate is wrapped in creamy, fluffy tannins that present comforting flavors of berry and spice. A leathery grip extends through the long finish.

The 2021 Estate Blend comes mostly from the Paderewski Vineyard, with smaller portions from the York Mountain Vineyard and Catapult Vineyard. It's a blend of 40% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre, 12% Grenache, 9% Graciano, 8% Tempranillo and 7% Carignan matured for 18 months in 28% new French oak barrels and puncheons. It has layered scents of blueberry, blackcurrant, grilled meats, oolong tea leaves and lavender. The full-bodied palate is structured with grainy tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity, and dynamic flavors on the long finish compel you to take another sip. 1,340 cases were made, which will be released in the spring of 2024.

Blackberries, blueberries, ground pepper, violets, spring flowers, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2021 Estate Blend, a blend of 40% Syrah, 24% Mourvèdre, 12% Grenache, and the rest Graciano, Tempranillo, and Carignan. Pure, medium to full-bodied, and incredibly pure, it's going to drink nicely for at least a decade.
