Tasting Notes

64% Cabernet Franc, 24% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon

Loamy, spicy, and playful in the nose, the 2022 Groundswell combines the earthiness and florals of Cabernet Franc (64%) with the ripeness, body, and darker red fruits of its blend partners Merlot (24%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (12%). Proper notes of untoasted tobacco, graphite, and violets burst forth alongside blue plum, black raspberries, and earl grey tea. Lively, with bright acid and minerality zinging throughout the palate, the wine finishes savory and on intricate spices.
