TWENTY YEARS, ONE BOTTLE
In the past, I released a wine called TEN which was a cumulation of 10 years (2000-2009) in one bottle. A few years later, I released FIFTEEN, a culmination of 15 years (2000–2014) in one bottle. The TEN and FIFTEEN were one of a kind concepts that were escaping boundaries in winemaking. After realizing the potential of the TEN and FIFTEEN I decided to try a third time. TWENTY is a majestic wine that is blended from equal parts of 2000–2019 vintages. Like its predecessors, I aged a barrel from each vintage separately. This allowed each vintage to develop individually. The older vintages create grace and elegance, while the younger vintages add vibrancy and structure. It is my honor to share all twenty years combined to create the ultimate wine from the past and the present.
