Product description
Perched high on the slopes of Spring Mountain, the Pluribus vineyard spans 7 acres at elevations between 1,137 and 1,327 feet. The site’s steep terrain and volcanic soils contribute to a wine of incredible intensity, minerality, and structure. Surrounded by a dense conifer forest, the vineyard imparts an earthy, aromatic complexity that sets Pluribus apart. The 2020 vintage is a bold yet refined expression, showcasing deep concentration, vibrant freshness, and a long, layered finish.
