Red Blend – Winemaking Notes

• The grapes were harvested early in the morning so the fruit would arrive at the winery while still cool to preserve the vineyard-fresh flavors.

• After de-stemming the berries, the fruit was cryo-extracted and then cold-soaked to soften the skins and allow for ideal extraction.

• During fermentation in a combination of closed and open-top stainless-steel fermenters, punch-downs and pump-overs were preformed to extract color, tannins, keeping temperatures low to build mouthfeel and maximize flavors.

• Finally, the wines are aged in 50% new French oak for between 12-16 months. After the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, it was racked every 6 months before the final blend was complete.

Red Blend – Tasting Notes

Color: Dark cherry with scarlet red highlights.

Aroma: Complex aromas of black raspberry, milk chocolate, and soft hints of sweet cedar.

Palate: Bold flavors of boysenberry pie, sugar cookie, and toffee lead to subtle notes of strawberry jam and baking spice. The balanced and complex tannin structure creates a long-lasting enjoyable finish.

Food Pairing: This wine can be enjoyed with tri-tip crostini, pork ribs with mashed potatoes, creamy au gratin potatoes or a on its own on the patio under the stars.
