If you are going to have a house wine, may as well make it a duplex penthouse overlooking the ocean. The boys nail this wine year in year out. Using the famous Las Madres Fruit to wonderful effect, the 40% whole cluster is a more approachable and easy going wine compared to the more serious 100% Whole Cluster premium cuvee. But boy oh boy, what a wine it is. Parmaviolets and dark berries on the nose with a hint of olive reflecting the touch of stems and stalks. The palate opens up with a hint of vanillin and then the richly blue and black fruits quickly stream in one after the other, blueberries, blackcurrant, mulberry, dark cherry ... with a distinctive dark chocolate finish which is the hallmark of this great vineyard.
