Tasting Notes
Opens with great aromatics of mountain blackberry and currant, with a hint of dark chocolate and earthiness on the nose, this wine explodes with intense flavors on the palate. From complex fruits ranging from blueberries, blackberries and a hint of pomegranate, this wine has a rich mid-palate that includes a touch of chocolate and spice that is very balanced and leads to a nice round finish.

Winemaker Notes
The 2017 PURE RED is a complex and unique blend, using five different grape varietals as well has four of our vineyard parnters that are committed to growing fruit organically. All the components of this wine fermented in our stainless steel upright fermenters, with PDM yeast used on all lots except the Malbec, which we used 796 to bring out the nice acidity and fresh fruit character that this varietal is know for. 100% malolatic fermentation was completed in stainless steel tank.
