2018 Cimarron Vineyard Graciano

This is our fifth vintage working with Todd & Kelly Bostock’s Graciano, which has quickly carved its own special niche in our portfolio. We always use a little bit in Earth Cuckoo and LeBlend, but the vast majority goes toward vineyard and varietal designation and toward our wine club and tasting room. This vintage (due to a brief problem with the well at Cimarron this summer) is by far, the darkest, inkiest Graciano we’ve seen from Cimarron, but it still has that amazingly bright red, watermelon/plum fruit, juicy acidity and beautiful, small, grippy tannins. Every year, this makes an amazing wine and 2018 is no exception. Just don’t spill any on grandma’s nice carpet! Only three barrels produced.
