2017 Crystal Vision, Santa Ynez Valley
2017 Crystal Vision, Santa Ynez Valley
Stevie said it best when she said, ‘I keep my visions to myself.’ This is definitely a wine that you will have a hard time sharing. It’s ok to be selfish once in awhile isn’t it? Let the vision unravel as you open this bottle and the aromatics transcend you to another realm with loads of blackberry intertwined in mossy clay. In the mouth the vision comes to life with soft delicate tannins, hints of leather laced with deep bramble fruit and ripe cherry exploding on the long, supple finish. The vision becomes so clear, so exquisite, like a lucid dream you don’t want to wake from. Enjoy
the journey and the clarity that comes from this one.

A little extra:
This is a gorgeous 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, two of the most highly respected wine grapes in the world. A combination of right and left, Yin and Yan, diversely different yet equally exquisite. This is a fine expression of what can come from the Santa Ynez Valley and how the Santa Ynez Valley can stand up against the finest wine regions in the world.
