Before a single bottle is labelled, every new vintage passes one test: the blending table. Last week we opened twelve trial lots of the 2024 reds, and three of them stopped the room cold.
The standout is a Mourvèdre-dominant lot from the oldest block on the ridge — dark, savory, and already showing the violet lift that defines our flagship cuvée. It will rest another year in large oak before we even discuss a release date.
Wine club members taste these lots first at the spring preview. If you want a vote in what gets bottled, that is the room to be in.
