The wine presents a deep, dark ruby color, hinting at its rich complexity and depth. The bouquet is beautifully layered with ripe dark berries and earthy undertones of sage. The palate is well-structured with a harmonious balance of fruit and savory elements. Ripe raspberry and blueberry offer a vibrancy that is complemented by bramble and a touch of pepper.

Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is grown at our Eagle & Plow and Spice Cabinet vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. The fruit is exposed to dappled sunlight, allowing for uniform ripening and flavor development. Well balanced crop levels have allowed us to create wines with great depth and concentration.
Production Notes
The grapes were harvested and sorted in the vineyards with our "Selective Harvester" to allow for maximum hangtime and flavor development. The fruit was not crushed in order to preserve as much whole-berry as possible. We fermented the fruit in stainless steel tanks and open top fermenters with a combination of pumpovers, rack & returns, and punchdowns to control extraction and flavors. After fermentation, the wine was drained and racked to 63% new oak for malolactic fermentation. The wine was barrel aged for 20 months. This special Right Bank Bordeaux style blend consists of 4 of the 5 Bordeaux varietals.
