2025 Fall Release
Vineyard Profile
Board & Batten pays homage to the various barns originally constructed on the Estate in the 1890s, noted for their distinct exterior siding. In their assembly, each board and accompanying wooden strip – or batten – is an independent unit then joined together to form a strong structure. Comprised of fruit from our biodynamically farmed Estate, the Proprietary Red is crafted in similar cohesive fashion, as a stand-alone blend built from individual varietal expressions. Blended following fermentation, the 2022 Board & Batten enjoyed a generous 20-month élevage in neutral French oak barrels. With fewer than 100 cases produced, the concentrated 2022 vintage features an expressive Zinfandel core deftly complemented by a savory Syrah backbone, honoring the distinctive character of both cool-climate varietals.
