WINEMAKER NOTES
 

The Currents wines have been the metronome of the West side of our property since the inception of the series in 2014; firm, boisterous, and compact in their youth.   In 2017 for the first time we co-fermented the two blocks that make up the sweeping hillside where the grapes are grown, and we have been thrilled with the results.   Aromas of blueberry, watermelon, black peppercorn and hints of vanilla over an electric vein of acidity and tannin.
