pine needles and graphite

Second wine of Château Margaux

This has an air of authority with pristine red fruits

Soft and drinkable now with plums and berries

Bright acidity and lithe tannins keep it fresh and easygoing

2023 | Iruai Shasta-Cascade Red | California Chateau Tour des Termes pine needles and graphiteThis wine is a love letter to the winerys wild new home in Scott Valley, pioneering a sense of place that channels a vast mineral range, a savage elevation, and a generous beauty. Trousseau brings the blood orange tang, Monduese adds high toned black fruit and a peppery perfume, while the Gamay rounds things out with a bitter kick and savory structure.
