Tasting notes
The 2021 Single Vineyard Series Holy Roller opens in the glass with a vivid blend of red plums and cranberries, complemented by hints of sage, chalk dust and a twist of tangerine. This sweeps across the palate, softly textured yet staining, boasting a primary core of red and black fruits as fine-grained tannins saturate toward the close. It finishes long, structured and full of youthful tension, leaving behind suggestions of tart black cherry.

Lastly, the 2021 Holy Roller Vineyard is slightly more reserved, yet it nevertheless brings beautiful depth in its ripe black fruits, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and leafy herb aromas and flavors. It's rich, broad, and mouthfilling on the palate and has velvety tannins, terrific mid-palate depth, and a great finish. This powerful, deep, incredibly impressive Cabernet Sauvignon will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and should have 20+ years of overall longevity.
Crafted exclusively from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Holy Roller Vineyard Red Wine captivates with its seductive tart plum and black cherry aromas. Showing a dusty core, the nose reveals a compact and tightly wound character that will greatly benefit from both cellar aging and decanting. This full-bodied wine boasts richness, roundness and a firm tannic edge, promising graceful aging for over 20 years. Your patience will be duly rewarded. Following 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels, a limited production of 720 bottles is poised for release later this summer. Set your calendars!
