The Plum Orchard vineyard is in the Templeton Gap District and is made up of sandy soils. It lays in a creek bed which provides minerality, spice, and purity of fruit. We did 50% whole cluster fermentation for added weight and complexity then aged for 22 months in neutral 400L French barrels. It's a gorgeous wine with a silky texture, bright red fruit and a bit of white pepper and herbaceousness. Enjoy now until 2028.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 93 Points

"Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Plum Orchard is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre. It was made with 50% whole cluster and aged 20 months in 50% new oak. It has enchantingly rustic aromas of strawberries, burnt orange peel, saline, leather, sour cherries and prosciutto. The palate is light to medium-bodied and intense but delicate, with its bright fruits laced with earth and bitters character, gently framed and mouthwatering on the long, nuanced finish."
