2022 SILVER Proprietary Red Blend

Perhaps the most elegant and beautiful wine of the vintage, it’s beautifully mineral driven and simultaneously fruit forward in the most enjoyably intense way. Dusty blue and black berries revel alongside the sweet spice and vanilla which highlight our mastery of coopering Haute Futai French oak. And while there’s only one percent of Marselan, a debut in Caldwell Vineyard, there’s a certain je ne sais qois that it adds to the other five varietals that somehow manages to further elevate what is an already heady and complex Bordeaux blend. This is a true powerhouse of a wine, with exceptional freshness and verve showcasing the highest expression of the vintage and our lineup of individual, clone-specific varietals.
