Winemaker: Dylan Pecchenino
Crafted from 46-year-old vines, this sophisticated red blend is a testament to
the precision of winemaker Dylan Pecchenino. Drawing on his tenure at
esteemed estates like Saxum and James Berry, Pecchenino has assembled a
profile of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, bolstered by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and
Malbec. After aging for a year in 35% new French oak, the resulting mountain
wine offers an alluring bouquet of dusty earth and bright red fruits, accented
by a distinct note of herbal cedar.
The wine maintains a refined, mid-weight structure on the palate, striking a
perfect balance between elegance and intensity. Its firm mountain tannins are
complemented by a refreshing, cranberry-like acidity that leads into a
complex finish of graphite, dark berries, and wild chaparral. This is a
quintessential cool-climate vintage: accessible today with a hearty roast lamb,
yet possessing the structural integrity to evolve alongside a premium cut of
Wagyu after a few years in the cellar.
