The athletic plantings at our renowned Fortuna Vineyard establish an undeniable presence in this wine, lending a dynamic sense of place, grounded by power and grace. From first pour, its dark, inky hue hints at the depth within. On the nose, a cascade of ripe fruit aromas unfolds with juicy blackberry, cassis, and boysenberry reduction, co-mingling with bright and alluring pomegranate, cherry liqueur, and kirsch tones. On the palate, this wine is a masterclass in balance, with vertical lift and vibrant acidity bringing energy and freshness, while lush fruits offer opulence and richness. Superfine-grained tannins carry throughout, revealing a sophisticated interplay of bergamot tea through the thrilling and indulgent finish, wherein savory umami notes emerge, compelling the next sip.
