2020 BDX Red Blend ~ Fountaingrove District
JUST RELEASED!
The fruit for our 2020 BDX comes exclusively from the Fountaingrove District AVA, known for its elevation and volcanic soil. With western exposure to the cooling influence of the Sonoma Coast, the grapes develop a refined tannin profile and acidity similar to classic French blends. This results in a wine that highlights dark chocolate, cassis, plum sauce, and anisette—characteristics typical of our mountain vineyards. After 35 months in barrel, we bottled the wine unfined and unfiltered. Refined and harmonious, our 2020 BDX will continue to gain complexity over the next 8 to 15 years.
