VINIFICATION NOTES: Each block of zinfandel, syrah and petite sirah on Lily Hill are picked individually according to ripeness, with harvest dates ranging from 9/9-9/20/22. The fruit was sorted, destemmed and given 29 days of skin contact, with two pumpovers a day until it was pressed at dryness. The wine was barrelled-down into 100% French oak, 30% new, for 18 months in our wine caves.
VINEYARD NOTES: 46% Rocky Ridge, 20% Jack Florence Sr., 20% Westphall, 13% Jack Florence Jr.
SENSORY NOTES: This wine captivates with its ripe blackberry aromas and inviting intensity on the nose. On the palate, notes of blackberry and mocha are layered with wet stone, peppery spice, and fresh herbs, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Its velvety texture and round body add richness, while the restrained tannins linger subtly, promising further evolution. A refined finish rounds out this dark and richly flavored wine, already drinking beautifully and poised to become even more plush with time.
CELLAR RECOMMENDATION: Enjoy 2025-2036
