2021 The 24
WINEMAKING
The right blend of teamwork, preparation, and the ability to adapt has led to our team success. The same holds true for how we crafted The 24. The blend features fresh, fruity Grenache, mixed with an almost equal portion of dark, rich Syrah that holds the backbone of smooth tannins and velvety mouthfeel. A dose of spicy Mourvedre makes the whole thing burst with intensity!
24 hours – the time it takes to make history. The beautiful metal chronograph label on the front pays homage to the Rolex timepiece which counts down the thrilling, 24-hour races at Daytona and Le Mans.
VINTAGE
2021 was a beautiful vintage across the north and central coasts. Grapes enjoyed a lengthy growing season with plenty of sunshine and moderate conditions throughout harvest. We were able to harvest each vineyard at the peak of ripeness, bringing you a vivid picture of the year, encapsulated in the bottle.
TASTING NOTES
Pouring a rich ruby red, aromas of wild strawberries, ripe cherries, and spicy earth waft from the glass. With a structured mouthfeel that is both complex and inviting, the Grenache brings vivid fruit, Syrah offers a rich meaty core, and Mourvedre adds intensity of spice. Balanced acidity and polished tannins frame the nuanced fruit and spice.
