Cork

The Lotus Vineyard in the Crystal Springs AVA was planted in 1998 and spans just 5.9 acres (2.4 hectares), purchased by DANA Estates in 2006. Sitting at 1,200 feet (366 metres) in elevation, the vineyard hugs steep hillsides with gradients ranging from 30–40% and exposures from north- to south-facing. Soils are predominantly Hambright rock and are extremely rocky. The wine is aged for 25 months in 100% new oak. In 2021, the wine is incredibly bright and precise, offering black-fruited notes supported by ripe tannins with a chalky mineral foundation and crushed stone character emerging across the dense, expressive palate. Loamy earth, bay laurel, and sagebrush nuances unfold through a lengthy finish.
