Winemaker Notes
Both serious and sumptuous, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese draws you in with mesmerizing aromas of black cherry, blueberry, cigar box, red brick dust, dried herbs and vanilla. The entry is rich, energetic and mouthcoating, with fine, dusty, tannins, flowing layers of blueberry, strawberry and red currant, and a sophisticated age-worthy structure.
Production
The 2021 growing season started with a very dry winter, with almost no rain in the month of February. Due to the lack of moisture, there were more frost events, which when combined with an extended period of bloom led to some shatter during cluster formation, resulting in smaller overall yields. Summer brought ideal temperate weather ensuring that the grapes were able to achieve excellent ripeness. While harvest was fairly compressed, with both white and red grapes coming into the winery at the same time, the quality of the fruit was exceptional, producing a stunning vintage of beautifully concentrated wines with deep, alluring colors.
