Characteristics

Ruby-purple in color, the wine’s aromas are evocative of freshly picked cherries and spring lavender. The sensation when tasting is one of a supple and exotic blend of fruit and spices. Flavors of fresh berry and spiced plum compote are given depth by the judicious addition of cardamom, which makes this an unusually engaging wine.

Description

Our Old Stake 1901 Vineyard was planted in 1901 and has 7 acres of freestanding head-pruned vines. To date we have identified 16 different grape varieties including Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Zinfandel, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and even a few white varieties like Roussanne and Perlette.
