Description
This wine is an assemblage from the top sites used in the Evesham Wood single-vineyard bottlings, blended to give a picture of a year in the valley. This wine punches far above its weight class, with savory herbs and soaring florals on the nose, complemented by mint, thyme, and white pepper. The palate is filled with electric red fruits, tart cranberries, blood orange, and a tremendous salty minerality that cuts through the fruit brilliantly. The Illahe and Mahonia vineyards (that Evesham Wood has worked with for decades) make up the bulk of the blend along with the prime Eola-Amity Hills sites of Koosah, Sojeau, Cortell Rose, Prophet, and Jubilee. The grapes are fermented in small lots and punched down twice a day.
