Winemakers Comments: Vintage 2024 was just about the perfect vintage. Warm but not too hot, and bone dry during the growing season, was welcome change from the past couple of years, allowing the fruit to ripen steadily. Meanwhile, cool nights kept acids and freshness high. With decent yields across the board, we had flexibility in our winemaking, selecting the best parcels and blending to make a suite of wines we are super stoked with, and excited to share with the world.
The Montepulciano was harvested from two different patches on the Bassham Family Organic vineyard, on separate days about a week apart. Each pick was fermented separately and blended together just prior to bottling. The earlier pick carried a lovely tart acidity and green energy, usually associated with whole bunch fermented wines, while the later pick gives palate weight and the deeper fruit character for drinkability – the final blend bringing both parcels together in a really awesome way.
Style/Palate: On the palate, soft dark fruit and chewy, drying tannin
Aormas: Smells like the combination of dark, brambly fruit and a giant tomahawk steak sizzling over charcoal… but with a violet floral, out in the meadow freshness to it.
Award/Score : Wine Front: 89 point (2022 Vintage)
Food Pairing: red sauce – margerita pizza or pasta amatriciana.
