Tasting Notes:

The 2020 Unforgiving opens with inviting aromas reminiscent of freshly baked blackberry pie, blending rich, juicy berry scents with subtle hints of sweet pastry crust. On the palate, vibrant flavors of ripe blackberries mingle seamlessly with a touch of fresh herbs, adding a layer of complexity and brightness. The wine's finish is enhanced by the warmth of toasted oak, providing a well-rounded and satisfying end.

Winemaker’s Notes:

Our San Ignacio vineyard was planted about 7 miles east of our estate, with all Bordeaux varietals.  Named "Unforgiving" due to the amount of care, and attention this vineyard requires to produce a crop, this Bordeaux style blend showcases ample concentration, body, and age worthiness as a delicious reward for all of the hard work.
