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.
