2019 Two Blondes
Two Blondes is an important site because it represents the coolest site that we work with. This allows for some of the most elegant wines that we craft. It is also named after two of the owners of the Vineyard who happen to be blonde!
The 2019 Vintage was a relatively even growing season which started slightly later than normal. The summer months were marginally cooler than the past few vintages which carried on into early fall. One of the markers for the vintage will be the consecutive cold snaps in October, forcing us to make quick picking decisions to avoid frost damage. In the end we did not see any frost damage or issues with our fruit and ended up with a truly great vintage!
It shows a cooler vibe in its black and blue fruits as well as more green tobacco, cedar, chocolate, and floral aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has nicely integrated acidity, terrific purity, and a great finish. – Jebdunnuck.com
Elegant with a dusty floral and oaky essence, the 2019 Two Blondes Vineyard is plummy in nature with aromas of red cherry skin and black raspberry and hints of popcorn kernel and vanilla that waft from the glass. Full-bodied, precise and focused, the wine shows nuances of baking spices on the palate along with a balanced structure of succulent tannins and energetic acidity. Concluding with a long, lingering finish, this fantastic wine continues to evolve in the mouth with persistent flavors of sweet oak and ripe, fleshy red and black fruit essence. Bravo—I’m not spitting a single drop. – Wine Advocate
