Tasting Notes
The 2019 Balance offers a symphony of sophisticated flavors, beginning with an enchanting nose of purple flowers and soft red currants. As it unfolds on the palate, layers of black raspberry and subtle spices emerge, creating a complex profile that is both bold and balanced. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a hint of oak that complements the wine’s rich fruit flavors.
Winemaker Notes
This exceptional 50/50 blend is produced from hand-selected grapes that exemplify the best of our organic vineyard's offerings. The grapes undergo a precise fermentation process to enhance their natural flavors, followed by aging in French oak barrels. This not only contributes to the wine's silky texture but also integrates the flavors and aromas, resulting in a wine that is both complex and approachable.
Food Pairing Notes
The 2019 Balance is a versatile partner to a wide range of culinary delights. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb chops, roasted duck, or mushroom risotto. Its robust profile also makes it an excellent complement to aged cheeses and rich chocolate desserts.

A true masterpiece! It's harmonious blend of ripe fruit, intertwined with subtle vanilla and cedar notes, showcases impeccable craftsmanship. With velvety tannins and a captivating aroma, it's a delight to sip on its own or paired with a meal. Cheers to Grimm's Bluff for crafting such an elegant expression of their vineyard's terroir!
