60% Syrah, 19% Grenache, 9% Tempranillo, 8% Zinfandel, 4% Mourvedre
Aged for 20 months in 38% new French oak
Bottle Date: July 2011 / Release Date: Fall 2011
Our 2009 Estate Blend is a patchwork of different vineyard blocks and soil types on our Paderewski Vineyard. Predominantly Syrah combined with almost all the other red varieties we have on the estate, this wine gives a sweeping glimpse of the vineyard as a whole alongside all of our innovative and site-specific winemaking practices. Almost Bordelaise in character, this wine expresses savory and refined fruit character: dried leather, red cherry, tobacco, smoked game and brown spice. The five different varieties form a cohesive, expressive wine with great texture, length and longevity in bottle. Drink now or with up to 15 years cellar age. 1,368 cases produced. RR 92pts; IWC 91pts
