Tasting Notes

A lovely bouquet of violet, rose, and lavender aromas perfumes the glass and reflects the majestic purple hue of this inspired wine. Beneath the fragrant floral notes is a heart of ripe, red cherry pulsing with firm beats of oak and granite. Concentrated, juicy flavors of blueberry and currant enliven the medium-body palate, elegantly restrained by the subtle grace and finesse of polished tannins that balance their bright, fruity exuberance. Rich yet fresh, this wine highlights the character of 2022 vintage fruit that inspired the winemaking team to craft this beautiful red blend in homage.

      Vintage Notes
      The first half of the 2022 harvest started calm and early, with healthy vineyards offering fruit with bright acidity, fruit-forward flavors, and strong yields for white varietals and thin-skinned reds, like Pinot Noir. Then, California experienced a historic heat wave in early September that ramped up the pace of ripening, compelling a fast and furious harvest as winemakers worked to pick fruit at its best quality. Fortunately, strong vines and proactive irrigation helped many vineyards survive the heat. The second half was much more predictable with cooler temperatures through October, so that later-ripening red varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, could develop their full flavor and tannin profile.
