2020 Checkerboard Vineyards Nash Creek continues to lead with dark and intense fruit aromas. Perched 2,000 ft above the valley floor, this unique vineyard site tends to receive more direct and concentrated sunlight. The development of thicker skin grapes with strong tannins is a consistent trend our team sees at this property. The vines tend to be stressed though the delicate soil composition that leads to pure ripe fruit with stern acidity.

With hints of leather and cassis, the wine is fresh and vibrant with layers of bright fruit. The tannins are raw but round, with a chewy finish that leaves the palette wanting more.
