Dark purple with an almost opaque edge, the 2022 Twenty-One Red shows cracked black pepper, crushed violets, blackberry and a whiff of smoked bacon. The wine's full body matches its lifted aromatics with a ripe, viscous, supple, and velvety texture. Rounded in mouthfeel and long on the finish with an evocative spice. A wine that can be consumed now and will age for another 18-20 years.

The grapes were meticulously hand-harvested at night to preserve their freshness and flavor. Following a gentle hand-sorting, the fruit underwent fermentation in a closed-top stainless-steel tank, with a 15% whole cluster inclusion to enhance aromatic complexity. The wine spent 21 days on skins before being basket-pressed. It was then aged for 20 months in 80% new French oak barrels, with 20% 1-year old oak, allowing the wine to develop its structure and integrate its flavors harmoniously.

Vineyard Notes
The Annadel Gap Vineyard is a special place. Our site is characterized by thick morning fog and strong afternoon winds. Alluvial, glacial, and sedimentary influences create a wide array of soil types. Ideal growing conditions, varied soils, and our minimal-impact farming methods yield precise, balanced fruit.
