TASTING NOTES

Born from our undying obsession with the art and challenge of the blending process, Emanation allows us to get a little outside of ourselves and offer something a bit different. Roughly 1/3 each Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache, it tastes like nothing else in our regular lineup!

More commonly found in the South of France, this type of varietal mashup is the best of both worlds: The elegant structure of Cabernet and the exotic fruit and spice from Syrah and Grenache.

Each varietal brings a distinctly different vibe to the final product. Cabernet forms the framework: magnificent currant, cherry and chocolate. Syrah provides dark, meaty blue fruit and forest floor woodsiness, while Grenache lends its bright aromatics and black pepperiness to the top-end aromatics.

Like our other 2019 reds, 2019 Emanation will be more immediately approachable compared with the tightly structured 2018 counterpart, but could certainly benefit from a good decant before enjoying early on. And as usual, we kindly implore you to cellar it (if possible) for a few years to reap the benefits of time!
