The 2021 Vermillion is packed with dark cherry, plum, spice and licorice. The 2021 is a blend from vineyards in the Sierra Foothills, Santa Barbara and Paso Robles, with the Paso fruit very much pushed forward. Black fruit, mocha, spice and licorice give this juicy blend tons of character. The 2021 is not exactly subtle, but it sure is a delicious bottle of wine.

The 2021 Vermillion is mostly Grenache and comes from sites throughout California. It's another terrific wine under this label offering textbook varietal notes of Bing cherries, peppery herbs, and flowers, medium to full-bodied richness and depth, nicely integrated acidity, and a terrific mix of richness and elegance. It too is perfect for drinking over the coming 4-6 years.

Tasting notes

The Vermillion Red shows pure blackberry, raspberry, and huckleberry and a finish laced with dried savory herbs, oolong tea, and rosemary. Incredibly generous on the palate, the wine has staying power without being overdone whatsoever. Well integrated oak here, which is impressive given the 16 months of elevage. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Description

The quality of wine is based on the quality of all its inputs – good vineyards, smart farming, pure and focused winemaking – ultimately attention and TLC at every step. We make this wine from the vineyards to the bottle, working closely with grape growers from awesome little vineyard sites in Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and the Sierra Foothills. We’ve sought out interesting sites with great dirt, farm them with care and thought, and use traditional winemaking to craft honest wine and make an artisanal red wine blend to match any occasion, any food, any time. Vermillion is a terroir-driven, delicious, hand-crafted wine to be enjoyed any night of the week.
