Sunrock Vineyards 2020 Illumina

This red blend has an abundance of blackberries, dark cherries, vanilla mocha, baking spices, and dark fruit jamminess on the nose. The palate has juicy dark fruits, a luscious note of spice and vanilla and some smooth smoky oak. The tannins and acid are soft and the finish is long and pleasant.

Winemaker's Notes:

The grapes were picked right before frost set in to allow for maximum ripeness to develop in the vineyard. The grapes were gently crushed and destemmed and then fermented in an open top stainless steel fermentation tank. The wine was punched down 2 times daily for 2 weeks, after which the wine underwent Malolactic fermentation. It was then transferred to specially selected French and American oak barrels and allowed to age for 16 months. 67.5% Syrah, 32.5% Zinfandel.

Food Pairing:

Pairs great with barbecued steak with a smoky char, as will lamb, venison and game birds. Accompany a dish with a fruit-based sauce or marinade for a beautiful pairing. This wine is also a perfect match for a charcuterie board.
