The 2018 Altitude 2292 is a blend of all five Bordeaux varieties - 57% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet franc, 1% each Malbec and Petit Verdot. The source is the mountain top block at Coastview Vineyard at 2292 feet planted in decomposed granite and limestone soils. This is truly an exceptional site for these varieties.

Tasting Notes: Tart black plum and violet aromas lead to vibrant blackberry, herbal thyme, and graphite flavors. Bright acidity frames polished tannins, flowing into a long, mineral finish with subtle cedar and savory spice.
