2020 Mews Estate Red
This is the first bottling of the new Chalk Hill vineyard, planted in 2018. By 2020, the fruit was coming in very nicely, so we bottled this, just the 3rd leafing of the the vineyard. The Cab Franc and Merlot came in faster than the Cabernet Sauvignon, so this 2020 blend will likely lean more towards the Merlot/Franc side. It is a stunning work of our winemaker, Chris Taddei, who took the fruit by the hand and brought it into a beautiful expression of this single vineyard Bordeaux Blend. The harvest was ripe, so the wine is big, but oh so approachable with long tannins and a beautiful structure to hold together the beautiful fruit.
