A bold and expressive red from California’s High Valley AVA, the 2021 Eruption blend showcases mountain-grown intensity from the volcanic soils of Brassfield’s Volcano Ridge Vineyard. Bursting with dark fruit—blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry—it’s layered with floral notes, cedar, baking spice, and hints of smoked minerals. Full-bodied and firmly tannic, it offers a mouth-coating texture and a juicy, well-balanced finish, lifted by bright acidity. Aged 10 months in French and American oak, it reveals nuances of cocoa, espresso, and warm vanilla. With 14.9% ABV and 93 points from Wine Enthusiast, this Rhône-meets-Napa-style red is powerful yet refined—delicious now, but capable of aging 7–10 years. A standout for its terroir-driven character and exceptional value.
