Our Vineyard Series is a collection of limited-production wines that offer their own inspired variations on the innovative style of our Paraduxx red blends. As the coolest of our estate vineyards, Cork Tree yields beautifully structured and sophisticated wines that are as elegant as they are inviting. Combining the lovely red berry and floral notes of great Malbec with the dark fruit character of Cabernet Sauvignon, this alluring wine marries the best qualities of all both varietals.

Wine Profile

Production Notes
Blend Composition: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Malbec, 13% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot
Winemaker Notes
This beautifully aromatic wine draws you in with mesmerizing layers of violet, dark cherry, blueberry and black currants, as well as hints of vanilla and maple syrup from barrel aging. The dark berry notes are echoed on the palate, where they are framed by soft, elegant tannins and energetic acidity, with notions of vanilla, clove, nutmeg and graham cracker adding nuance and complexity to a long, pleasurable finish.
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.
