DETAILS
Tasting Note
Our 2019 Red blend, dominated by Syrah and Mourvèdre is a sultry one, juicy, mouth coating, with a finish that doesn’t want to end. It conjures visions of blackberry pie, bacon wrapped prunes and clove studded orange peel. A perfect companion to Mediterranean, umami laden, wintertime dishes (like osso buco with Front Porch Farm polenta).
Vintage Note
2019 was the year of water and fire. Record-breaking late winter rainfall was followed by a cool spring. A cool to average summer allowed for the development of full flavors, fresh acidity, and great balance in the wines. Our grapes were picked and our wines finished with fermentation by the time the Kincade Fire started on October 23 and barely missed the farm a few days later. Phew!
