A masterful blend sourced from three distinguished vineyards – Tench, Double H Ranch, and Renteria 360 – this wine embodies the essence of its terroir. In the glass, its rich, deep crimson hue allures the senses. Aromas of savory umami, delicate mushroom, and invigorating eucalyptus intermingle with an abundance of luscious blackberry, decadent chocolate-covered cherry, and indulgent blueberry pie, complemented by a trace of graphite minerality. Nuances of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg infuse an added layer of complexity, culminating in a wine that stands as a true champion of the vintage, characterized by its unwavering structure and opulent fruit core.

Nose: The bouquet is an intricate interplay of savory and sweet, showcasing umami and earthy mushroom alongside a whisper of eucalyptus. This is beautifully layered with the lush fruitiness of blackberry, chocolate-covered cherry, and blueberry pie, while a vein of graphite minerality adds depth. The aromatics are rounded out by warm baking spices — cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg — that hint at the wine's complex palate.
Palate:
- Flavor Profile: The palate is a cornucopia of dark fruit with plump dark plums and black currants at the forefront, evolving into a more nuanced blend of blueberry, dark chocolate, and a refreshing burst of spice-infused cherry. The savory undercurrent persists, lending a mature and profound character to the wine.
- Body of the Wine: Full-bodied, the wine possesses a stature that fills the palate, delivering a weight that is both substantial and plush.
- Tannin Structure: The tannins are profuse yet manage to be incredibly silky, contributing to a texture that is opulent without being overpowering. This silkiness belies the wine's youth and promises graceful aging.
