Amazing wine takes time. From the Red Hills Vineyard we have produced this aromatic, rich, mouth filling wine. It took three years to find the best block of Petit Verdot in the Red Hills and two years aging in barrel to let the fruit components and tannin meld naturally. Aromas of dried plum, juicy cherry, and white pepper, balanced with flavors of marionberry, sultanas, herbs de Provence and clove that lingers for ages. This very dark garnet wine will leave your glass stained and age in your cellar for years to come.

2019 was a wet spring followed by a mild summer. It was ideal for long hang time and getting phenolic ripeness. Early season frost singed low areas but cooled off all northern locations and allowed for extended hang time of our Cabernet and Petite Sirah. Acids remained naturally higher this vintage and brix were slow to accumulate until they spiked at the end of the season. Power shutoffs made pressing and pumping grapes difficult. In the end we got all the fruit in and made some beautiful wines for the mild season.
