NOTES: 2021 turned out to be one of the warmest vintages we have ever had. The season started off about normal with budbreak around the third week of April. The weather warmed up and we saw bloom dates that were a little bit early beginning the first week of June. During bloom of the 2020 vintage, we had cool temperatures with cloud cover and rain resulting in shatter and poor yields. The prior year’s lackluster bloom resulted in fewer clusters being formed in the buds for the 2021 vintage. The weather really warmed up, hitting many days of 100+ degrees, including a couple of days of 110+. The vines weathered the heat quite well and berries were very small, also leading to a light crop, yielding an average 1.5 – 2.0 tons per acre. Harvest began on September 8th and finished on October 12th, one of the earliest harvest endings for Figgins Estate Vineyard. What the vintage lacked in yield, it made up for in quality, producing wines of exceptional density.
TASTING NOTES: This delightful blend of Merlot and Petit Verdot is a real beauty. The nose delivers a pleasant potpourri of espresso, red currant, raspberry cobbler, graphite, violets, and fresh fir boughs. The wine shows off a strong structure complemented by a rich, velvety midpalate. The compelling concentration of black and blue fruits carries through to a fresh and lingering finish. Drinking amazingly now but can easily cellar for a decade if you can keep your hands off of it.
