2880 Rhone Blend 2014

The three varieties of Rhone are grown in our Backyard estate's vineyard and offer a sense of place and passion. We are working with McGah Vineyard Grenache in Rutherford to offer raise and concentrate along with great texture in order to complement our estate-grown field mix. Petite Sirah from the Shipoke vineyard in Calistoga completes the composition and gives focus and inky scope.

This approach is spearheaded by Rutherford Grenache, offering boysenberry, red pomegranate, raspberry, and low-key white pepper aromas that merge to form clean, vibrant fruit and plum blossom. In the center of the palate, our manor-grown Grenache, Syrah and Petite Syrah are co-fermented and filled with berry compote and a box of spices. With broad blue fruits and a long-lasting fragrance, Inky Petite Sirah completes the composition.
