2020 Accoutrements Magnum
Accoutrements was a revelatory, lightning-in-bottle moment. While blending some of our most popular wines, we had a cellar epiphany: our unsung heroes, our blending varietals, consistently impress and deserve their own center-stage showcase. I said to Adrian, “We should make a wine with these unsung heroes, these accoutrements. What should we call it?” Adrian replied, “That’s it! It’s Accoutrements!” The result is a mineral-driven, juicy, exotic wine that we are glad to present.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Pomegranate syrup, elderberry compote, currant, fresh black
mission fig, creosote, and menthol. The palate is intensely
fresh and vibrant, unexpectedly seamless, polished,
cohesive, and generous given the strong personalities of
these polarizing varietals.
Vineyard Notes
Sourced from Alta Mesa Vineyard
Production Notes
Components were destemmed and fermented separately in
stainless steel and small, open-top bins, spending between
20-25 days on the skins, with a combination of pump-overs
and punch-downs during cold soak and fermentation. Aged
20 months in neutral 265 & 228-liter French oak barriques
