'IX Estate' 2011
The 2011 "IX Estate" bursts with freshness and black fruits. The benefit of a cooler growing season is that it preserves the nuanced flavors in the fruit. Rosemary, sage, cracked pepper, black olive, combined with the inherent flavors of the site--iron, crushed rock, juniper berry, and bay leaves--all contribute to the wine's aromatic complexity. The elegant texture is incredibly appealing with its silky, round tannins, paving the way to a smooth finish. As the wine matures in the bottle, it will have the same aging curve of the other vintages of the "IX Estate." The natural acidity in 2011 will no doubt add longevity to the wine, preserving it for decades.

'IX Estate' 2018
The 2018 "IX Estate" begins with granite, charcoal, and sage aromas which transform into wild blueberry and black cherry. Salivating spices of turmeric and ginger add wildness and intrigue, building a strong sense of character in the wine. The texture of the 2018 "IX Estate" is intensely structured with sculpted tannins. The wine’s vibrant minerality and chiseled dense core stand out in its youth, yet will lead to a long, velvety quality on the palate as the wine evolves with time.

'IX Estate' 2019
Nuanced yet vivid, the 2019 vintage brims with the hallmark characteristics of the IX Estate vineyard. Powerful mineral notes of crushed rock and iron intermingle with compelling scents of licorice, black cherry, and huckleberry. Generous notes of sage and juniper meld with subtle hints of graphite and potpourri. A gliding texture of suave tannins seamlessly coats the palate leading to a sleek finish. The pure, gorgeous fruit ties everything together, making for an exquisite wine that sings now but will only reveal more layers in the future.
