It presents with classic Grenache notes of garrigue, allspice, dark cherries, tobacco, and strawberries; all of which is backed up by fresh acidity, and a long, lingering finish highlighting the refined tannins and brightness of this great wine.
The 2018 Sorceress is 100% Grenache from three truly spectacular vineyards. It is 37% from French Creek Vineyard, and 33% from WeatherEye Vineyard, and 30% from Upland Vineyard.

The final blend includes about 80% whole cluster, foot stomped bunches. The resulting wine is exotic and aromatic.
This vintage of the Sorceress was aged for 16 months in all French oak barrels (mostly puncheons). The wine saw mostly neutral oak (only about 20% new French Oak).
This vintage is age-worthy and will continue to develop over the next decade.
