An Invitation from Morgaen & Andrew
We’re thrilled to announce that our 2019 BW9, meticulously crafted by our winemakers Kristi Koford, Jeff Onysko, and Lynn Watanabe, is now available.
This extraordinary blend showcases the pinnacle of our vineyards’ potential, with fruit carefully selected from our finest blocks. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a unique 0.44-acre section of The Ghost Block Vineyard, renowned for its deep, complex flavors. The Malbec is sourced from our Block House Vineyard, which imparts rich, velvety texture, while the Petite Verdot, harvested from a select sub-block of The Mill Race Vineyard, adds structure and depth.
On the nose, the 2019 BW9 captivates with a violet bouquet intertwined with the lush aromas of black currant, dark plum, and fig. As you take a sip, layers of flavor unfold on the palate—ripe blackberries and dark cherries lead, followed by subtle notes of cocoa, licorice, and a touch of earthy minerality. The wine’s firm, yet harmoniously integrated tannins create a luxurious texture, while a vibrant energy carries through to a long, enduring finish.
This wine is designed to impress, whether enjoyed now for its youthful vibrancy or cellared to mature gracefully until 2035. Over time, expect even more nuanced flavors and aromas to emerge, enhancing its complexity.
