Winemaker Notes

Murmuration refers to the phenomenon that results when hundreds, sometimes thousands, of starlings fly in swooping, intricately coordinated patterns through the sky. When we witness this magnificent event in the vineyard, it reminds us that a great blend is a collective reflection of the sum of all parts, as opposed to any one part on it’s own. As we continue to experiment with the multiple red grapes on the property, we decided we need a space for creativity and blending to be able to make a wine that showcases a holistic expression of place.
