The 2022 Ingenuity slowly opens with a rich blend of crushed raspberries and dusty rose, lifted by a hint of camphor and spice. On the palate, it envelops with masses of ripe red and black fruits, weighty and velvety in feel yet supported by a core of brisk acidity. The finish leaves the palate saturated in chewy concentration and a web of fine tannins as nuances of tart blackberry and citrus fade slowly. (EG)

Savory and sweetly fruited in equal measure. Considering the heat of the vintage, this smart blend of petite sirah, grenache and mourvedre leverages the strengths and generosity of each variety. Blackberry liqueur, kirsch and carob remain luscious through the finish, joined by forest floor and star anise. Drink or hold.
