2020 was an excellent growing season with consistent dry and warm weather from spring to fall. Grapes matured perfectly and natural cropping levels were moderate to low resulting in wines of wonderful concentration.
The grapes for this single vineyard wine come from the Creek Shores sub-appellation. It was wild fermented in micro cuvées with manual punch-downs, followed by ageing for 22 months in French oak barrels (40% new) and 500 litre puncheons. Only three of the finest barrels from this special vintage were selected for this reserve bottling.
Single Vineyard. Vegan Friendly.
Wild fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 22 months.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
By Rick VanSickle, (Rating 94)
An attractive nose of wild red berries, jammy blackberries, cassis perfume, some smoky/cedar notes, cocoa, and integrated fine oak spices. It’s highly structured, rich, and ripe on the palate with fine-grained tannins.. ..with savoury red berries, cassis, black currants, dark chocolate, earthy notes, elegant spices, and length on a finessed finish.
