2022 Trespass Rendezvous
$160.00
The 2022 Rendezvous is an immediate attention grabber. The hold and purposeful conviction of this wine is delightfully infectious. Consistent with its nature, the ’22 release is field blended and barrel fermented. The composition is a marvelous harmony of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with the addition of 3% Petit Verdot made during the final blending session. Gorgeous! The nose is grand and opens with a deep, seductive aromas of ripe blackberry, black currant, and a whisper of cedar. On the palate, it’s structured, layered and dense! The blackberry, velvety core is lush and concentrated, intertwined with dark currants, hints of graphite, and a touch of toasted French oak spice. Its mid-palate delivers a thrilling surge of intensity that is both bold yet refined. What I’m impressed with most in this Bordeaux blend is its impeccable balance between fruit, acid, and fine-grained tannins. The finish is nothing short of gorgeous: long, trailing, and resonant, leaving a lingering echo of dark fruit, tobacco leaf, and subtle vanilla. While today a wine of power, I know it will have an enduring elegance for over a decade to come.
