2020 BDX Red Blend ~ Fountaingrove District
JUST RELEASED!
The fruit for our 2020 BDX was exclusively sourced from the Fountaingrove District AVA, known for its elevation and volcanic soil. Benefiting from Fountaingrove's western exposure to the refreshing influence of the Sonoma Coast, our grapes develop a sophisticated tannin profile and acidity akin to beloved French blends. This results in a wine that showcases the concentrated essence of dark cocoa, cassis, plum sauce, and anisette typical of our mountain vineyards. After 35 months in barrel, we bottled the wine unfined and unfiltered. While already displaying depth and approachability, our 2020 BDX will age and gain in complexity over the next 8 to 15 years.
