2021 Red Blend - Redtail Vineyard

LangeTwins 2021 Red Blend - Redtail Vineyard

Jahant AVA

Our first single vineyard blend offers a bouquet that strikes a beautiful balance between old and new world. Lush notes akin to mixed berry are accented with a graphite-like tinge. As it opens, swirls of violet and orange zest join the bouquet. On the palate, a zesty minerality compliments the bright tones and gives way to a slow buildup of subtle spice and oak towards the finish.

The 2021 vintage brought us the earliest start of harvest we’ve experienced, with our crews starting on July 26th. After our white and early red varietals were brought in to the winery, many of our red varietals were predicted to reach maturity at the same time. The compaction of the second half of the harvest season became both a challenge and priority for us. As Fall approached, the smaller fruit set, paired with consistently higher temperatures caused many red varietals to mature rapidly. Varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petite Sirah came off three weeks sooner than average, with slightly higher brix than targeted, although with good acidity. With all said and done, the vintage came in smaller than expected, though with outstanding quality that we are thrilled to present.
