The last time we produced The Infiltrator blend was for the 2017 vintage. Since that time, we have been more focused on our Bordeaux program and with our limited production capacity, we can't always make all the wines we would like to. But when one of our favorite vineyards, the Briarwood Vineyard in Paso's Templeton Gap District, offered us a couple of tons of their beautiful Petite Sirah grapes, we couldn't resist. So once again, this Petite Sirah based blend has quite literally infiltrated our line up and we are pleased to offer it to you for the 2021 vintage.
As always, the Cryptology blend is classified at the highest level. You will not be required to solve the mystery of the blend. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to simply open the bottle and savor the results of the covert operations that went into its creation. A low risk, high reward undertaking, based on our assessment.
The Assassin, our "killer" Cabernet Sauvignon, is back with a vengeance for 2021. An exceptional vintage by any measure, the 2021 Assassin is lush and velvety, with a streak of mouthwatering acidity and firm tannins. Rich, ruby darkness, shrouded in smoky, intoxicating aromas, The Assassin will lure you in with a firm grip and impactful power. Resistance is futile. Better to simply comply than to try to escape it's dark, irresistible bidding....Sorry. We get a bid carried away but hopefully, you get the picture.
We are often asked why the Cryptology blend is a secret. The answer of course is why not? And so the intrigue continues with the latest vintage of our classifed blend - 12 vintages in and still a secret!
