Tasting Notes
Our Sole e Terra is a fun and unusual blend that has captured the hearts and palates of our fans looking for a twist on a quaffable table wine. The nose is greeted with aromas of shaved cedar, tart cherry, and lush boysenberry. Following this delightful introduction, the tongue is drenched with rich plum skin, blackberry, black cherry kissed with graphite and snuggled up with shitake mushrooms.

Pinot Noir brings silk, Lemberger a gorgeous hue and Saperavi muscle and grip.

Vintage Notes

Winter of 2021 gave us some surprisingly warm days and just enough snow to be protective when the temperatures dipped low.  Early spring was lovely - sunny and mostly dry with undisturbed flowering and fruit set.  Beginning in June, the summer rains arrived and persisted through August.  Once into September and more so in October, we were blessed with warm and dry weather, allowing us to round out our harvest season in good conditions. The abundant moisture during the summer months resulted in a smaller crop but yielded very fruit-driven and expressive reds and sparkling and bright and refreshing whites and rosés.
