(6) - 2013 Elder Rock Winemaker's Blend, Monterey, 750ml
2013 Elder Rock Winemaker's Blend, Monterey
Our Winemaker’s Blend is blended to showcase the fully-integrated bright fruit character of each component. Aromas of blackberry, raspberry and strawberry are accented by rose floral notes and hints of mocha. The rich fruit flavors are dense with berry character, unfolding into a soft, lingering finish.
Place Matters: Millions of years ago, alluvial fans and flood plains containing rock and shale fragments were deposited along the Central Coast region of California. These ancient marine layers are evidenced today by the rocky terrain and soils that we call ‘elder loam’. At Elder Rock, we strive to craft wines that display the unique terroir and prehistoric roots of the land, wines that express a strong sense of place.
Winemaking: The grapes for this wine were destemmed, crushed and fermented separately by varietal. The grapes were pressed and the wine left to settle in stainless steel prior to being racked off the heavy lees. Post-fermentation, the wine was aged with a combination of French and American oak. During the blending process just prior to bottling, the proportion of each varietal was chosen to accentuate the richness of flavor and maximize depth, complexity, mouthfeel and finish.
