2018 Genoa XVIII
Remarkable depth and balance with respect to integrated layers of fruit begin to define the Genoa XVIII. It’s all about the blend: Zinfandel for power, Syrah for spice, and Petite Sirah for color and depth. Black cherries, black plums, and ripened figs are evident. Lifted layers of anise, cocoa, and smoky cedar coalesce as well. Elegant texture framed by supple tannins and keen acidity deliver a lengthy and nuanced finish.
This vintage is sold out.
Winemaker Notes
An Estate multi-vintage blend done in small lot fermentations our Genoa is in a class of its own. An estate blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Zinfandel across multiple vintages each blend of our Genoa has a portion of all of the previous vintages as part of its lineage. Our XVIII Genoa, like all of our Genoa blends, carries the soul of the past and allows a glimpse into the future.
