The grapes for this wine come from the the Mount Family Ranch. Located in the Red Hills AVA, this small portion of the greater Lake County AVA is in the Northern Mayacamas Mountain Range. With soils comprised of volcanic material, the growing material is rich in nutrients, has ideal drainage, black obsidian, and quartz crystals.
The soil in the Red Hills is strikingly red in color, and some of the cleanest air in the country. Under these ideal conditions, the vines can mature with the perfect blend of support and grit to produce world-class, stylistically unique, wines.
Their in-house farming team, some of whom have generational history with the land, is led by Winemaker & Vintner Patrick Sullivan (formerly of Peter Michael / Rudd / Lewis Cellars). Patrick’s precision and meticulous standards set the tone for each wine they produce. The wine was aged in 60% new French oak for 22 months.
This is the innaugural offering of this wine, and is a beautiful expressionof the Exit West vineyard. The wine has a beautiful nose of blackberry pie and black currant, anise, and dried spices. The mid-palate is lush and full, and frames the fruit perfectly, with a finish that is all silk and savory tannins that seem to last forever.
