Tasting notes

This expressive blend features rich aromas of red and black plum, blackberry and dark cherry underscored by notes of dried herbs and violet. The palate is smooth and rich with flavors of dark fruit, plums, bramble berries, and a touch of toasted almonds and warm spice on a pleasant long finish.

Pairing

Pairs perfectly with duck confit, charcuterie board, or a pomegranate salad with crispy proschiutto.

Production
Terroir

Merlot and Petite Sirah are sourced from two AVAs – Arroyo Seco and San Antonio Valley – both warm growing regions where temperatures foster thick skin and intense structure development. The Malbec is sourced from our Hook Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands, while the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are sourced from the San Antonio Valley.

APPELLATION: San Antonio Valley, Arroyo Seco, Santa Lucia Highlands

Vintage Notes

The 2019 growing season in Arroyo Seco and San Antonio Valley started with below average rainfall causing supplemental irrigation to be applied when the vines started to awaken. The early growing season going into veraison had mild temperatures, perfect for developing full canopies and full clusters. The late season had a few typical heat spikes that slowed down vine growth but enhanced flavor concentration in the fruit.
