2019 Alpha
$95/750ml

Tasting notes:
The Alpha proudly showcases the complex layers of a red blend with fruit selected purposefully from vineyard blocks spanning our breathtaking mountain ridgeline at 1,600 ft. The backbone of this bold yet supple blend is Cabernet Sauvignon providing abundant textural tannins with a silky mouthfeel. A symphony of classic black cherry, cassis, vanilla bean, and spice. Palate pleasing now, the wine will continue to evolve with age.

Fermentation and processing:
A diverse blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Merlot. Small hand-crafted lots, including different fermentation styles of single varietal, co-fermentation, and press fraction lots. Co-fermentation helps achieve natural wine balance using low intervention winemaking. Aged in cast stone and oak of various sizes adding layers of complexity.

Food pairing:
Flank steak with chimichurri, braised short ribs, pasta bolognese.
