This wine was carefully crafted using a meticulous process. First, it was fermented slowly in a stainless steel tank with daily pumpovers. Then, it was aged in once-used 100% American Oak barrels. After completing malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked off its lees and aged for 24 months in barrel. Finally, it was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
This wine offers aromas of mint, cherry, and eucalyptus. On the palate, you'll find abundant red cherry and raspberry flavors with notes of cinnamon and spice.
Produced from the Paper Street Vineyard's head-trained vines of the Dusi clone, this Zinfandel is exuberant on the nose in rich aromas of berry, black plum, fig and raisin, lifted by star anise and gingerbread spice. The palate is thick and jammy but sliced with acidity, showing strong berry, clove and cinnamon flavors. We aged our Zinfandel in American oak barrels for 18 months and bottled it unfined and unfiltered.
As you enter our property, you'll be greeted by rows of Cabernet Sauvignon vines lining both sides of the driveway. We've planted two specific clones of Cabernet, clones 4 and 6, known for their small berries and the ability to produce wines with great structure, depth, and color.
In 2022, we hand-harvested the Cabernet grapes on the morning of September 28th. Following the harvest, the fruit was meticulously hand-sorted to ensure that only the highest quality grapes made it into the fermenter. After fermentation, this limited-production wine was aged in new French and American oak barrels for 22 months.
Sourced from the White Hawk Vineyard in the Los Alamos Hills, it is 21 miles west of the Pacific and 2 miles north of Los Alamos and planted at 900 feet elevation. This region is recognized as a top producing wine region. Fog often embraces the small vineyard in the morning before gentle afternoon breezes chase it away to allow the sun's rays to slowly ripen the fruit.
Deep-pitched dark berry preserve, licorice and floral aromas, with baking spice and cola nuances in the background. Sappy and round on the palate, offering bitter cherry and cassis flavors that are given backbone and lift by a spine of juicy acidity. A smoky nuance appears on the long, spice-driven finish, where velvety tannins provide gentle closing grip.
It is delicious now but will continue to develop beautifully over the next 5-10 years.
The Rich & Rare Mission Angelica is truly a remarkable wine. It has aged in an oak solera, with the base wines coming from the '60 and '63 vintages, for an average of over 30 years. Every year the solera is added to with the newest vintage of young Mission grape Angelica and the new bottling is pulled from the oldest of the barrels. A process that has been going on for generations. It is loaded with toasted hazelnut, butterscotch and maple syrup flavors and balances out with a balancing acidity.
