Product Overview

Winery's Notes:
"ASHES & DIAMONDS’ Mountain Cuvée "Saffron Vineyard" comes from Lisa Chu’s organically farmed Mt. Veeder site, located high above the fog inversion line at an altitude of 1,500 feet, where daytime temperatures are often 15 degrees cooler than on the valley floor. The deep-rooted Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapevines were planted in 2000 in thin soils comprised of uplifted marine sediment and fractured shale. Soils with naturally low fertility and no irrigation make for naturally balanced grapevines with low yields and small berries. Once at the winery, the grapes are cold-soaked until native fermentation begins. The resulting wine is bouncy and outgoing, with explosive red fruit aromas like biting into a ripe, juicy plum, and fine, focused tannins."

Varietal Composition: 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Mt. Veeder AVA
Vineyard Designation: Saffron Vineyard
Aging: 19 months in French oak, 28% new

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"This well-proportioned wine blended from Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon offers good black-fruit flavors, nice hints of cinnamon and toasted oak, and a slightly firm texture due to fine-grained tannins and balancing acidity. It's an elegant wine that won't tire you out." -JG, 4/1/23
