2019 Trespass RENDEZVOUS
$150.00
Rendezvous is always our most anticipated wine of the year and that stems from its unique beginning. The early 50/50 “field blend” combination of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon is like a singing match made in Heaven. After arriving to the winery and carefully whole berry destemmed the fruit is placed in new open-top French Oak barrels for hand plunging during primary fermentation. That is a lot to digest right there. Basically, we are saying is this, every ounce of talent and care is put into making Rendezvous. This year’s offering begins with an all-encompassing collaboration of clove, allspice, cassis and dark stone fruit and backgrounds of oak vanillin, brown toffee, and caramel. The palate is showy with flavors of black cherry, tart currants, rhubarb, and a touch of black licorice we know stems from the Cabernet Franc. It’s a delicious wine through and through and will cellar beautifully. Aged for 22 months in 100% New French Oak, bottled unfiltered and unfined.
