The wines

Three wines, from three parts of the same high slope. They are picked separately and bottled separately. There is no blend and no Malbec.

  1. Ivory

    Pinot Noir

    Grown on the highest rows, where the mountain shade arrives earliest and the nights are coldest. It is picked before the other two, and it is the lightest in color.

  2. Taupe

    Merlot

    Grown on the mid-slope gravel. It ripens after the Pinot Noir. The fruit is fuller, and the finish is dry.

  3. Black

    Cabernet Sauvignon

    Grown on the warmer benches, still high in the valley, and picked last. It has the darkest fruit and the firmest tannin of the three.

Offered together or one at a time, by allocation. Ask what the current vintage has.
