2019 Jolie

Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot Blend

Paris is surely the center of the known universe. It cast its spell on me years ago and I’ve never been quite the same. I was lucky enough to live and work there and I spent countless hours strolling through the Marais, Montmartre, and the Champs-Élysées captivated by their beauty. Oh, and I sampled my share of vin rouge. Cole Porter and George Gershwin wrote music for Paris; I’ve made wine. The Jolie (French for “beautiful”) is my tribute to the city that I love. It’s aromatic and made in the French tradition using small vats and oak aging for 18 months. This vintage is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Merlot and we love the gorgeous notes of dried black cherry, eucalyptus, slate, and soft oak.  Vive la Paris!
