Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Much of this blend was grown at Farmhouse Vineyards in Brownfield, TX and Tallent Vineyards in Mason, Texas. A small portion of the fruit that makes up this blend is from Diamonte Doble Vineyards in Tokio, Texas.
Production Notes
Due to the damage caused by the freeze in October 2019, the yields from the Texas High Plains were
significantly low. The quality overall in the state being exceptional. Between the heat and the
continual drought farmers were facing, the season was fast and furious with the bulk of fruit being
received in the month of August. A lot of producers were wrapping up their harvest season by the
end of September. The COVID-19 pandemic was also another marker of this vintage, putting more
pressure on wineries to take precautions for the safety of their employees. Wines from this vintage
are fruit-driven and phenolically ripe.
