Winemaker's Notes
"Pure, total power and darkness. Be careful as you may like it too much and it could put you in the mood to tell people what you really think. This wine is not for the faint of heart. It is for those with a will of steel and determination to match... a wine for people that admire subtle elegance and not-so-subtle power.
There was no 2020 vintage due to the apocalyptic fires and so the 2021 has been a long time coming. An extremely small crop, dryness and zero heat spikes combined with super small, concentrated berries and a super long ripening season resulted in the vintage being hailed as one of the TRULY great ones.
Sourced from a single, small, family-owned vineyard, farmed with great care and attention (their “dream” standard) and never forced to pick by weather or tank capacities. Made by sorting the fruit berry by berry, fermenting in small, French oak fermenters, and long aging in the finest barriques. The secret is no compromise and no detail overlooked, ever.
The Warrior is beautiful, it is worthy of opening for all your special times, the moments when life just doesn’t get any better. Friends, family, victories – will all be there, and even the dark days will not be so darn bad. It is a wine that will make you smile, like the time that asshole down the street you hated drove his Porche too fast and crashed into a cement truck and exploded."
