Notes on the Wine
From a privately owned vineyard, farmed and managed by Prudy Foxx. Clones 667, 777 and a little 115 were picked on 09/29/21 at 22 brix. The fruit was hand picked and sorted, 84% de-stemmed and left 16% whole cluster for native fermentation. 16 months aging in neutral French oak; un-fined and un-filtered. Burgundy red color with magenta hues. Aromas of Pomegranate, strawberry, cranberry along with bay leaves and fennel pollen. Soft tannins. Great balance.
Total Production 200 Cases
Wine Enthusiast 96 Points:
"Very light in the glass, this vibrant and complex wine shows rose petal, potpourri, tart plum flesh and tomato skin on the stunning nose. The palate is dynamic as well, blending sagebrush and Kalamata olive flavors with raspberry, rose petal and the warm rush of strawberry. It exhibits layers for days." - Matt Kettmann
