At Black Ridge Vineyards, we believe that producing fine wine is more than a craft or a skill, it is an art. Like a painter with colors or a composer with notes, our Vineyard Manager and Winemaker Bill Brosseau, uses his tools to find the expressive core of our site’s fruit and masterfully shows a use in restraint as he utilizes what each harvest has to offer while bringing that expression into a recognizable form year after year. This type of winemaking takes imagination, requires considerable experience. A deft hand with technique and an openness to relearn from each vintage. This complex tapestry of elements intertwines to create the tour de force of a winemaker that carries over one-hundred 90+ point wine ratings in his credit.

For this limited production release, Bill has composed an enchanting representation of what this harvest season had to offer from our estate-grown grapes. We hope you enjoy this wine as much as we enjoyed the journey of capturing the essence of our grapes in your glass.

This blend leads with scents of peppercorn, black pepper, blackberry, and game; with the flavor profile being a direct reflection of this. You can tell right away this will be an excellent pairing with steak or any red meat. An abundance of velvety tannins and modest acidity make for a hedonistic start, middle, and end.
