Winemaker’s Note: Age-worthy yet accessible. Varietally true, but nuanced. Beautifully balanced. Savory herbs, perfect tannins, and black fruit just suck you in.
On the nose: Cured meat, rosemary, sage, and plum
On the palate: Chocolate covered cherries, herb notes of sage and rosemary with a rich, caramel finish.
Food pairing ideas: …just skip to the ribeye!
When to drink: Now through 2036; Peak 2032-2034

About Foundation wines:
Each vintage, we select a series of extraordinary wines upon which our reputation will rest. These "Foundation" wines represent the best we have to offer. Built from the earth up, in partnership with talented farmers and mother nature, these bottles are born from carefully chosen rows of vines rooted in thoughtfully cultivated land. Focus by a devoted husband-and-wife team, combined with charm from every unique barrel create wines that truly honor each varietal. Our approach is simple and solid: we buy the most spectacular grapes available and treat them with respect - this is the integrity that we demand. After all, structural integrity always depends on a solid foundation.
