2022 Crossroads Mountain Blend 750ml

$90

The 2022 Crossroads Mountain Blend is woodsy, with subtle hints of dried sage, blueberries and boysenberries. Dark, powerful chocolate and roasted hazelnuts add warmth and richness, while a touch of pepper and charred figs bring depth and intrigue. With the first sip, this wine is singularly approachable, offering a lush yet soft expression of bramble forest fruit and red currants. Notes of sweet black cherry and dark cocoa weave through, enhanced by a subtle freshness of freshly rained earth. Concentrated and balanced, this blend maintains elegance while showcasing a strong and distinct mountain tannin finish.

The 2022 vintage harvest will be remembered as one of the more unique vintages in recent memory with a focus on resilience and adaptability.

With mild December rains, the beginning of the growing season commenced on the warmer side, leading to an early budbreak. Going into late spring and early summer, the vines showed strong shoot growth and average crop yields. A warm August led to early picks from our Oakville Estate starting on August 31st, with all fruit being harvested shortly after. Due to an unprecedented heat wave of 5 days in triple digits over the Labor Day weekend, our vineyard crew and production team worked tirelessly to pick and process the entire property in 2 weeks, with our last pick coming in on September 15th. Due to the age of our vines and meticulous farming practices, we were able to preserve freshness and structure, while keeping concentration and finesse to provide an incredible wine in a more challenging vintage.
