This Bordeaux style blend has an alluring nose of chocolate covered strawberries, dark plumb, nutmeg and tea leaves. On the palate, it has a broad, yet elegant entry and offers flavors of blackberry, cigar box, and leather. The powerful tannins and rich dark fruits balance together in this suburb wine. The wine is full bodied and has a long finish with refined and silky tannins.
All the varietals that make up this blend are grown on our estate which is located in the Mokelumne River Sub AVA of the Lodi Appellation. The vineyard is sustainable farmed and certified green under Lodi Rules. All of varietals in this blend were plant- ed in 2014 using a vertical shoot position trellis system. The soil is a well drained, sandy loam. The crop load was thinned prior to veraison and leaves were pull on the north side of the vine to promote healthy clusters.
