Ripe fresh cherry, raspberry and sarsaparilla aromas jump from the glass of this elegant but punchy style of Pinot. The palate is all about crushed raspberries and orange peel, with clove, cinnamon and white pepper flavors emerging on the finish. Best from 2028–2040.
 
Winemaker Notes
Situated at the gorgeous, natural transition of rugged, steep, oak studded hillside to the fertile, lower slopes of Western Alexander Valley, the quarter century old Blue Rock Vineyard yields mature, balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petite Verdot, and Syrah. All six of these varieties are featured in our Baby Blue Red Blend. The vintage of 2022 was memorable for its brevity. All grapes were harvested before the end September. Terms like "Heat Dome" and "Rolling Blackouts" reemerged in our vernacular. This Cabernet Sauvignon based blend truly embodied an early and intense harvest. Vibrant red and black fruit aromas, lively acidity, structured and mouth coating tannins and a jammy, luscious viscosity. The blend was assembled one month prior to bottling to let all the unique components meld and harmonize.
