Blended with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and aged in (50% new) French oak, this dynamo offers up aromas of blackberry and mocha coffee. Toasted oak and blueberry greet the palate on the first sip, rounded out by notes of peanut brittle. Juicy and lenghty, with fine-grained tannins and black cherry seasoned by nutmeg and white pepper on the mid-palate. The luxe finish of heather, blackberry, and anise is memorable.

In this way, the story of Ammunition isn’t Andy and Bill's story at all, but rather a shared celebration of the values, work ethic and ingenuity upon which this nation was built. This is a story about the underdog. About being uncompromising on quality even when faced with the prospect of competing with wineries many times our size. About believing so much in what you're doing, that you're willing to swim upstream even in the swiftest of waters. Every drop they produce represents their uncommon (and admittedly, at times, obsessive) pursuit of perfection. It’s the result of long hours, hard work and sleepless nights.
In the end, they know that nothing worth doing is ever easy. But make no mistake, they wouldn’t have it any other way.
