The 2022 Chardonnay presents a beautiful balance of richness and vibrance. Tropical fruit such as ripe pineapple and mango unfold on the nose with a burst of freshly squeezed lemon and granny smith apple intertwined with vanilla bean. Seamlessly well-balanced, the bright citrus notes with asian pear and white peach are laced with a creamy texture finishing with notes of freshly baked brioche bread and vanilla custard.
The Grand Cuvée is a captivating blend of 50% Carignan, 25% Zinfandel, and 25% Cinsault. Medium-bodied and harmonious, it combines Cinsault's summer strawberries, silky tannins, and warm toast with Carignan's spicy cinnamon and clove, along with pomegranate and cranberry notes. Zinfandel adds lively bing cherry, raspberry notes with hints of violets and soft tannins. The result is a well-balanced wine with a firm structure, vibrant finish, and a seamless dance of bright red fruit and subtle spice. A testament to finesse and complexity.
Deep violet in the glass, our 2022 Winemaker's Select opens with an enticing aroma of ripe blackberries, black plums, and a hint of raspberry, beautifully laced with vanilla. On the palate, this wine delivers a velvety texture, juicy fruit, and notes of black pepper for complexity, with a richness on the finish of creamy vanilla. The rounded tannins and soft acidity provide structure and balance, leading to a finish that is both weighty and smooth.
