Tasting Notes
Deep purple and bold, this wine hits with juicy raspberry, dark plum, and a flash of tobacco and vanilla. The palate is rich and savory, driven by plush red fruit, fine tannins, and a mineral, ironstone edge. It finishes long and floral with rose and violet.

"The 2024 Red Moon is a blend of Malbec, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot and Merlot. The wine is intensely concentrated in fruit flavor and tannin, with pomegranate, mulberry, violets, licorice, fennel, blood plum and cherry. There are pink peppercorns and pressed roses, with ozone and tarmac in profusion. There's a slinkiness to this wine that I appreciate; it is cleansing like summer rain, and it is inky and just a little bit chewy. The purity of expression here is so impressive. Fermented without additions, it matured in older oak for eight months."
