The 2019 vintage opens with terroir-driven aromatics of crème de cassis, black cherry, baked plum and all-spice. These aromas carry through to a palate that is well structured and full-bodied, with youthful yet firm tannins. A long echoing finish provides additional notes of dark fruit, earth and toasted oak. While drinking well in its youth, this wine will continue to improve and gain complexity over the next 10+ years. -Mark Beaman, Winemaker.

The 2018 Cherryblock is a wine of great complexity, intricacy and sophistication. In the glass, the wine is deep purple with ruby highlights, and offers intense, concentrated aromas of cassis, tobacco and graphite. Flavors of black cherry fruit wash over the palate, with complex layers of cacao, cedar and tobacco. Full soft tannins complete the profile with lingering notes of herbs and spice. This wine is drinking well in its youth, but will improve over the next 10+ years.

Our 2019 Patrick’s Vineyard Chardonnay opens with lush and elegant aromas of coconut cream, ripe pineapple and vanilla spice. The palate is well rounded with layered flavors of creamy butterscotch, tropical fruit, and toasted oak imparted from the sur lie aging. This is a full-bodied Chardonnay that is rich in texture with a smooth, lingering finish.

On the nose, our 2020 Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon opens with enticing aromas of blackstrap molasses, mint, cinnamon, blueberries and espresso.
