Description
From the Renaissance Vineyard, a limited production, “Reserve” level wine (only 360 cases made), using grapes from top-tier vineyard sites exclusively, and then selecting only the best barrels for the blend, in order to achieve the most elegant, refined expression of the Renaissance’s vineyard rugged terroir.
Blend: 26% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, 16% Sangiovese, 12% Malbec, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Syrah.
This is an a-typical “Bordeaux-style Blend” wine for California, being distinctly terroir-driven, with no makeup or embellishment whatsoever. Now, in 2024, it’s just about “fully mature”.
Note: This wine has been stored in the winery cellar since its inception. That is a dry cellar, and some corks may be brittle and crumbly. Use caution when uncorking, preferably using an ah-so type opener or, even better, a “Durant” .
