Drum Canyon Vineyard 2022 Eco 3pk

Vintage Notes

A dry winter and cool spring delayed bud break, slowing down bloom and fruit development. Warmer summer weather, however, prevailed through August, followed by an unexpected heat wave of eight days in early September. Reduced yields, a result of drought conditions over the last two years, combined with higher temperatures, have produced an expressive vintage featuring ripe, concentrated flavors.

Winemaking 

In the 2022 vintage, there is slightly more Calera than Swan clone. After destemming and a three-day cold soak, fermentation occurred in open top stainless steel tanks at a range of warm and cool temperatures. The wine was aged 11 months in 100% French oak barrels, 22% new.

Wine Profile 

Nose: A diverse array of aromas that include dark cherry, cranberry and bramble berry fruits accented by licorice, savory dried herbs and cola.

Palate: Medium full body with a round mouthcoating, concentrated flavors of raspberry and pomegranate enhanced by notes of ginger, mushroom and dark earth.
