2020 Estate Alpha
We’re unbelievably excited to share the first offering of our premier red blend, while introducing the more rare Chateauneuf du Pape varietals that we added to the vineyard a few years ago. This blend is 49% Grenache Noir, 16% Syrah, 15% Terret Noir, 7% Cinsault, 5% Muscardin, 4% Mourvèdre, 3% Vaccarèse, 1% Counoise.
Medium garnet in the glass, with aromas of cherry and raspberry first, followed by notes of thyme, cinnamon, and all spice.
On the palate, this wine offers lots of fruit - cranberry, plum, and pomegranate. This is a full-bodied red, with silky and velvety tannins, and a long and lingering finish.
