Description

Between 2000-2010 we farmed a few acres of vines, which were leased to us by Renaissance Vineyards, a local winery where I made wine for over 15 years.  These vineyards originally covered 365 acres of steeply sloping contoured terraces, creating a breath-taking panorama, and offering an incredible range of soil and microclimate combinations, plus 700 ft. of elevation drop from the top to the bottom of the vineyard and all possible exposures… It was possible to successfully farm there, nearly side by side, an astonishing spectrum of grape varieties, traditionally associated with entirely different growing regions. This was the origin of a number of our wines: Carte Blanche, Tickled Pink, Heart of Stone, Cuveé Mysterieuse, and Black Pearl.

Our first version of this cuvée was released as a Non-vintage. It was a blend of 2000/2001. Unfortuantely, by now, all sold out. 2002 was the earliest vintaged one. It has always been one of the best balanced, most graceful vintages in our history. Medium bodied, with a beautiful texture and great aromatic complexity. Now nearing full maturity, it still have a couple of decades of life in store. Blend: Syrah, Merlot, Viognier.

Limit per order: 3 bottles.
