2019PATRIMONYBLACK LABEL SERIES
With a deep color, almost black with hints of ruby, this opulent wine astonishes with its freshness. The layered aromas are the definition of elegance, combining delicate florals with notes of fresh black and blue berries and nuanced hints of dark chocolate, licorice, and ash. The bold and full-bodied texture retains the elegance and freshness of the aroma, augmenting the tasting experience. The finish is impressively long and precise, packed with notes of fresh berries, black cherry and tobacco. Vibrant tannins give this wine the finesse and backbone to age gracefully for decades to come.
“The PATRIMONY Black Label Series is a special selection of two barrels chosen for their unsurpassed depth, dimension and power. I do not doubt that you will be as awed as I am by the magnitude of this wine.”
DANIEL J. DAOU, Winemaker & Proprietor
GROWING SEASON
Abundant rainfall combined with moderate temperatures and extended hang times resulted in the latest harvest on record. The winter rains yielded a healthy cover crop that replenished the soil’s micronutrient stores. The growing season was perfect with temperatures hovering in the 80s and 90s, and not a single day reaching 100 degrees in the vineyard. The fruit arrived at the winery in exquisite condition with small, pure, and unblemished berries. The 2019 vintage is marked by elegance, intensity, and fine acidity, all combining to promise excellent longevity and staying power.
