Curtis Strohl, General Manager of B. Cellars, explains that this wine was Kirk Venge’s opportunity to blend whatever he wished in the cellar – a chance to showcase his talent as a blender. In 2023, Venge incorporated some extraordinarily prized fruit into the blend, elevating the wine well beyond its usual expectations. Ask him about it. Here is the essence of the wine: it is powerful yet remarkably light on its feet, boasting inky-dark fruit infused with blue-fruit compote and violets, alongside rich slate-like minerality and loamy earth notes. The palate is unctuous and full-bodied, with a satiny, silky texture that carries the wine effortlessly across the finish. What makes it especially compelling is the inclusion of fruit from iconic old vines, some nearing 60 years of age. And really, the best thing to do is ask the team at B. Cellars why they felt this blend was worth the investment—then taste it yourself and experience the sheer joy and pleasure of this downright delicious wine.
