Understory

Tasting Notes

Some friends who have had sneak peeks of this wine are calling it the best Understory to date. I have to agree, it is DELISH! Native yeast fermented with 20% whole clusters in concrete and stainless steel with a variety of pump overs and punch downs depending on desired extraction for 20 to 36 days. Basket pressed into a selection of French barriques and puncheons (15% new) then aged for 20 months. The nose is lively, displaying notes of wild berry tart with graham cracker crust, sweet thyme, orange peel, and dried cranberry. It transitions to an exquisite palate full of red fruits, wild cherries, white pepper, and cardamon. The finish is energetic and seamless and goes on forever…Do yourself a favor and double down on this one, your friends will thank you!
