Purchased at the winery in 2024. Damn this is deep. From the 1869 Grandpere Vineyard in Amador County. 1869. The Civil War was still fresh in people’s minds and the grass hadn’t even grown over Abe Lincoln’s body yet. Hard to comprehend in 2025.
Deep and pure black cherry fruit and minerality on the nose. silky and mouthfilling on entry, the mid-palate is large-framed and pulls in savory elements. Long finish. Such a special vineyard and such a special wine. Intensity of flavor without any jamminess or residual sugar or loss of balance.
