The 2019 vintage was warm and dry, almost arid, yielding a ripe, concentrated harvest. This wine is a blend of 55% Petit Verdot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were sourced from two vineyards on the east side of Mount Alto: the rocky Manteo-Nason soils of Mount Alto Vineyards, and the more clay-blessed Tatum silt loam on the hilltop O’Brien Family Vineyard. The Cabernet provides intense aromatics and fine tannins, while the Petit Verdot brings richness and concentration. This wine is an absolute pleasure to drink now but it has the makings of a wine that will continue to improve with age. 600 bottles produced. $45.
