The Piocho 2016 Red Blend brought a warmer then average spring and early summer balanced with the warm days and cool nights of July and August. The conditions allowed for small berries, with average yields.

The fruit reached perfect physiological ripeness retaining natural grape acidity resulting in very balanced wines with low alcohol and rich concentrated varietal flavors.

The Piocho 2016 Red Blend wine was fermented in small lots using hand-crafted winemaking techniques and matured for 22 months in a combination of new and seasoned, two-year-old, and neutral Taransaud French Oak Barrels. The wine was racked three times in barrel and bottled in July of 2018. 820 Cases.

Aromatically, the Piocho 2016 Red Blend wine is uplifting, with notes of dark cherries, earth, cedarwood, raspberries, and plums. On the palate, the wine is richly concentrated, beautifully focused, with deep-set dark cherry, chocolate, cedar flavors, complimented with black olive and fine-grain tannins.

The Piocho 2016 Red Blend wine continues with red and black plums, saddle leather, berries and dusty tannins. The wine is wonderful to drink today and will continue to evolve in balance, length and complexity as the more structured Cabernet Sauvignon matures.

This new blend of all five Bordeaux grapes starts with a fresh nose of strawberry, hibiscus and anise. The palate offers macerated plums and berries as well as baking spices such as nutmeg and a slight hint of roasted game.

Aromas of black plum, olive and bittersweet chocolate show on the nose of this Merlot-led blend, but it is the underlying minerality of crushed rocks and turned earth that’s most compelling. The palate is smooth, with everything from oak and cocoa to rose buds, violets and black currants. The tannins are expertly polished and the density is ideal.
