This is 100% varietal, all Lewis vineyard fruit. The aromas have the smoky, meaty, brambly fruit character of the Dunham Lewis bottling, but the wine overall is more restrained, with a strong leafy note under very pretty raspberry fruit.

The name refers to a French 8-line poetry format. Here are very pretty aromas, creating an elegant expression of Cabernet, approachable but not too light. The tannins are nicely rounded, the fruit retains its primary berry and cassis flavors, and wraps in a little bit of black olive also.

This elegant, refined, ageworthy, pure Cabernet is sourced from the oldest vines at Windrow, which date back about two decades. There is plenty of round cherry fruit in the core of the wine, along with red plum, golden raisin, and Christmas cake spices. Cinnamon and chocolate scents waft up from the glass, nothing overblown, but exotic and compelling.

Just one barrel was made of this complex, nicely sculpted, 100% Malbec. It’s from fourth leaf fruit, showing bright and fresh raspberry flavors, compact herbs, and streaks of tar and earth. A floral note (clover?) comes in as the wine breathes open. Still young and slightly reduced, it will reward decanting.
