Made from only 100% handpicked Merlot grapes.
No additives: yeast or sulfites.
Spontaneous natural fermentation.
No filtering. Clear glass only.
Only 400 bottles produced
A 300-bottle release showing the tobacco and leather notes that come with extended aging — the 2024 vintage was given additional time to develop before release.
Naturally dry with deep, earthy flavors — tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and faint black cherry. More evolved than fruit-forward, with a firm yet composed structure that settles gradually and lingers on the palate.
A wine suited for slow enjoyment — grounded, expressive, and quietly persistent.
Fruit sourced from the mountainous Monticello region of Virginia. Naturally fermented for 10 days on the skins, then only the free-run juice is collected - never pressed - to preserve the purity of the juice without adding harshness.
Aged and bottled exclusively in pure clear glass to maintain purity and taste. No filtration, no chemicals, and no manipulation.
Federal lab testing confirms: no sulfites detected.
No oak, no flavoring and nothing hidden. Only pure fruit, nature and time.
A natural expression of Merlot, grounded, expressive, and complete.
