Tasting notes
The 2020 Pandora is also based on Grenache, yet it has a dramatically different style than the Grenache release, with more red and blue fruits, spring flowers, violets, and pepper-driven aromas and flavors. It's full-bodied and has a beautifully pure, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a gorgeous finish. Layered, incredibly complex, flawlessly balanced, and just so beautiful, it will evolve for 20+ years in cold cellars.

Hailing from the pure chalk soils of Seymour's Vineyard, the 2020 Grenache Pandora was aged for 34 months in 60% new French oak. The nose is a fragrant yet immensely concentrated mix of ripe berries, purple flowers and hints of kelp-driven umami tones. The palate is full-bodied and slick in texture, featuring loads of polished black fruits lined with subtle acidity that lead to a finish dominated by saturated fruit flavors, crushed stones and oak tannins.
