2018 was a unique vintage with the weather from veraison to harvest nothing less than perfect. There were no heat spikes, only even, moderate weather. Absent of challenges, there was a lot of synergy in both growing season and wines. Mother Nature let the winemakers walk at their pace in the vineyards, slow and easy.

Tasting Note

​

Aroma of blackberries, ripe dark cherries and plum laced with black licorice and sweet oak. Very evocative nose. On the palate, a savory, lush mouthfeel with juicy dark red fruit, wonderfully long, delicious and persistent finish. Good structure with fresh and supple tannins, dense and velvety. The 2018 has the finesse and the elegance of the vintage. Best from 2024 to 2040
