The third vintage of Carménère from Casa de Vinas Vineyard, this wine displays a deep purple hue and an aromatic nose of green pepper, herbs, spice, and dark fruit. Flavors of cocoa, licorice, dark berries, baking spices, and herbal notes unfold across the palate, creating a bold and complex expression of this distinctive varietal.
VINEYARD INFO
The grapes for this wine are sourced from Casa de Vinas Vineyard, located in the central Livermore Valley. Planted in 2015, the Carmenere block consists of Clone 3 grafted onto 5BB rootstock and trained using a VSP (Vertical Shoot Positioning) trellis system. The vineyard sits on relatively flat terrain with clay loam soils, providing ideal growing conditions for developing concentrated flavors, balanced structure, and varietal expression.
