Intentionally made on the lighter side with a focus on food, the 2018 Sangiovese holds true to the characteristics of this classic wine.  The nose shows a lovely expression of cherry cola and strawberry notes that bolstered by leather and tobacco with some crushed herbs to round it out. The pallet is light to medium bodied for my style of winemaking, but the texture is silky and seductive.  This wine is a classic Sangiovese with notes of cherry, strawberry and plum in your mouth.  This wine finished off with soft and subtle notes of herbs and dried fruit.

2021 Merlot, Mustard Hill

The 2021 Jenks Pinot Noir is beautifully colored crimson red hue, the wine expresses the pleasing aromatics we have come to love about this vineyard of ripe tree fruits, wild berries, fresh sage, lavender, cinnamon, forest floor, leather, and roasted nuts.  This Pinot Noir continues its reputation with excessively rich, dense and captivating flavors of black raspberry, bright cherry, cherry cola, blueberry and pomegranate.  The wine has layers of Asian spice, all wrapped with the framework of selective oak barrel. Adding to the complexity, the wine is profiled with a velvety texture, velvety tannins, firm structure, and a wonderfully long finish. Year after year this vineyard creates a wine that is not only consistent in profile but approachable when young and built to age. This wine is very reminiscent of the 2015 and 2016 vintages, which were spectacular drinkers a decade into aging.
