After fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels, giving subtle spice and vanilla characters without overpowering the elegant fruit profile. This Rhône-style blend has a rich ruby color, highlighted by purple edges. Notes of boysenberry, bramble, and tobacco jump out of the glass. The wine is full bodied with rich tannins, offering flavors of black fruits, damp earth, and chocolate covered cherry.

58% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre, 3% Tempranillo grape blend.

This wine contains allergens, sulfites.

 

The Estate

The Monterey appellation is the largest in Monterey County, and encompasses a broad range of viticulture microclimates influenced by proximity to Monterey Bay.

Wine Making

Plentiful rainfall in the winter and spring months contributed to good growth conditions and bud break early in the 2020 season. Cold and windy conditions during bloom in late May moderately reduced crop sizes. Summer saw typical weather with warmer weeks as harvest approached. Vine and cluster health were excellent, with high-quality, clean fruit.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with anything grilled.
