This wine is all about finesse and purity, with aromas of dark fruit, flowers, herbs and a savory, earthy edge. The palate is silken, with no hard edges at all, showing polish and sophistication. Masterfully constructed from the mountainous estate sitting at 500 meters altitude. Made from 60% cabernet franc, 20% merlot, 18% cabernet sauvignon and 2% malbec. Excellent. Drink now and for decades to come.

Coming from Aaron's estate vineyard on Mt. Veeder and one of the flagship releases here, the 2023 Space & Time is based on 60% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Malbec and aged in 50% new oak. Red and black fruits, spicy wood, tobacco, and violets all emerge from this deep, rich effort. It's medium to full-bodied, has a fresh, lively, balanced mouthfeel, beautifully integrated tannins, and a great finish. This classic, deep, complex beauty will keep for 20 years or more. Drink 2030-2045.
