Zin, Tempranillo, PS, Touriga Nacional, Mourvedre
Typical for the grape, this wine is very dark in color and heavy in the nose, but it doesn’t live up to this expectation. It actually drinks very pretty, almost light. The tannin level is very moderate given the way it looks and smells.
Varieties : Carignane. Vinification : Each of the two lots were fermented separately. The Lolonis was done in open-tops with about 40% whole cluster and the Martinson was done in closed tank and all destemmed. They were blended together post-malolactic and aged in four French oak puncheons for 10 months.
The Freese Vineyard is essentially a northern extension of Breakneck. We can think of these two sites as siblings, their composition is similar (comparable soils, same grape) but the way they carry themselves (the fruit, the flavors, the aromas) show total individualism. Freese is prudent and precise, offering ripeness and restraint, while Breakneck carries intensity and drama.

Clean, fresh, minerally… a transparent view into the soils of Rutherford.
Deep, black fruit, mocha and distinctly “dusty” aromas, brilliant structure, great acid and lush flavors without any hint of flabbiness, this wine is set to be paired with any classic combination associated with Cabernet. We backed off of the Merlot a bit this year so the wine may need a few extra months to align…
