2016 | JD 96

Noted for deep purple color with aromatics of red/black currants, graphite, tobacco, and cocoa. It is described as a "tannic monster" by some users early on, showing significant power and structure.

2018 | VIVINO 4.5

2018 vintage began late, due to a cool and dry winter – conditions that persisted through the entirety of the growing season. The moderate heat throughout the summer and early fall provided optimal conditions for the steady ripening of the key color, tannin, and flavor compounds. A long hangtime was possible this year because there were none of the major heat spikes we have become accustomed to in recent decades. 

2019 | VIVINO 4.5

The 2019 Skipstone Faultline Vineyard is a rich, full-bodied, and intensely aromatic Alexander Valley red blend, dominated by Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It features plush, velvety tannins and a long, persistent finish. Expect notes of sweet black cherry, blackberry reduction, violet, tobacco, bay leaf, and graphite, with 70% new French oak providing structure.
