2020 & 2021 Delmas Field Blend
Tasting Notes
A translucent ruby red hue with precise aromatics of kirsch, garrigue, white pepper, lavender, and licorice. Rich and multidimensional on the palate with notes of kirsch, pomegranate, forest floor, lavender, white chocolate, cracked peppercorns, bacon fat, and hints of truffles. The velvety soft tannins and crisp acidity nicely complement the flavor profile. The signature minerality and umami notes of SJR Vineyard shine brilliantly on the very long finish. This is a wine of beauty, elegance, and grace.
About Delmas
All of Delmas wines originate from their 13-acre SJR Vineyard, which is uniquely situated at the southwest corner of The Rocks District; where the ancient wild river deposited finer soils amongst the cobbles/gravels. Brooke Delmas Robertson, who has taken the helm in guiding the winegrowing efforts for the family, ensures the continuation of their distinguished wines. These wines show a singularly distinctive expression within The Rocks District.
