Winemaker Notes
Embodying the depth, character, and complexity of Jensen Vineyard’s cherished old vines, this captivating wine reveals enchanting aromas of cherry, blackberry, and a touch of white pepper. On the palate, refined tannins cradle vibrant flavors of dark black cherry and ripe red plum, complemented by a subtle hint of nutmeg that leads to a harmonious finish.
Production
The 2022 vintage from the majestic hills of Mt. Harlan reflects the character of an extraordinary growing season, yielding profoundly robust yet dynamic wines with concentrated flavors and impeccable balance. Despite another year of drought, two much-needed winter rain events brought a total of 12 inches of rainfall, nurturing the vines for an impressive vintage. Moderate spring temperatures ensured ideal budbreak, followed by a summer of abundant sunshine and temperatures ranging from the upper 70s to low 80s. These conditions produced wines of remarkable quality, destined to be celebrated for years to come.
