The old vines of HMR form a unique vineyard mix lacking a source attribution, they are a ‘massal selection’ aka the ‘HMR clone’ having evolved from a multiplicity of original vines. The HMR designation indicates that the wine is based on our best vineyard sites and the oldest vines.
This maturation translates into a succulent wine that emanates aromas of rosehips, cherry, and boysenberry jam. The flavor continues on the palate with notes of smokey mushrooms, dark chocolate, and blackberry. This wine is drinking beautifully now and will develop with age. Drink through 2028.
