2019 VERTIGO EXT
48 % Syrah, 47% Mourvèdre, 3% Grenache, 2% Viognier
Vertigo is our Syrah-heavy "G-S-M". It is spicy, structured, and always performs. The name is a nod to the steepness of the hillside on our estate where we grow the fruit for this wine. The 2019 extended aged vintage is a startling wine. A legendary wine. It is so rare when a wine shows this much power and finesse. The viognier brings a sense of elegance early on your palate and then a nice balance of acid kicks off the party with a pop of brightness. It’s the lead-off batter, then comes the number 3, 4, 5 batters with a perfectly soft dive right into the finish. Dark fruits overcome the wine and then take you home for a finish that is as long as you can find. This is such a fun, beautiful wine that can be paired with food but it's perfectly acceptable to drink alone chilling by the firepit.
For fans of Vertigo we would also suggest trying Fracture or Tempranillo!
