2020 noir

"Dark and rich in the glass, the 2020 Noir blos­soms with an allur­ing blend of musky black cur­rants, rose­mary, cracked chalk and bal­sam­ic spice. This is seam­less­ly silky, with cool­ing min­er­al­i­ty and vibrant acid­i­ty that pro­pels its crisp black fruits across the palate. It leaves a stain­ing of pri­ma­ry con­cen­tra­tion while fin­ish­ing dra­mat­i­cal­ly long with a bit­ter black­ber­ry tinge." 93 pts

 

ERIC GUIDO - VINOUS

French for ​“dark, black, with­out light”

 

We had been asked for a num­ber of years by our fol­low­ers if we would make, at some point in the future, a blend called ​“in the black”, because of our oth­er blend, ​“in the red”. So, when we start­ed to make a small prof­it for the first time, we fig­ured why not. But instead of doing that, exact­ly, we decid­ed it would be more fun to call it noir. More sub­tle, and an apt descrip­tive for how dark it feels.
