This is sourced from their Hallberg Vineyard, a vineyard stretching 100 acres in size, nestled in the Green Valley sub-appellation, and named after the previous owners.
For those technically minded, it is made up of clones 777 and 667, sourced from three different blocks located on the east and west sides of the Hallberg Ranch
A silky smooth mouthfeel welcomes you to layers of dark cherries, raspberries, cranberries, and plums with secondary notes of spicy orange tea, oak, cola, and cloves. Persistent acidity makes its presence known- a few more years in the cellar should tame this. Fine-grained tannins, great structure, and impressive balance sit comfortably in the background, supporting the interwoven layers of fruit and enhancing your drinking pleasure.
This has a nice future ahead of it. Your patience will be rewarded if you let this sit, undisturbed, for the next 6 – 8 years. This will be enough time to tame the acidity.
Food pairings should include Duck breast with cherry or pomegranate glaze, Herb‑roasted pork tenderloin with fennel, Cedar‑plank salmon, and Roast chicken with thyme and lemon. Vegetarian options include Wild mushroom risotto, Mushroom and gruyère tart, Truffle pasta (lightly sauced), and Lentils with roasted root vegetables.
