V. 2019

Level Headed

95% Grenache, 5% Syrah

Soft as lamb’s ear, this medium bodied wine gently glides onto the pallet with notes of raspberry, elderflower and rhubarb. The round supple mouthfeel takes an equally elegant exit, with chinotto and grapefruit peel lingering long into the finish. Breathing in the wine is reminiscent of a wildflower meadow in the sun, warm dandelions, yarrow and chamomile releasing tender aromas.

It will be hard to resist drinking this new blend by winemaker Matt Trevisan, already showing a supple mouthfeel and rich flavor development. Now through 2026 expect a similar expression, as we crest seven years from vintage date expect more of the Negroni like character on the finish to take root in the mid-palate along with more earthy flavors.
