The Experimental Story

Put simply, the extremely limited suite of wines that comprise our Experiment Series vary dramatically from year to year, each one a poetic answer to a new set of questions posed by the art of winemaking. While we call these ever-changing wines by the name Experiment, they might also be described as an ‘Investigation’ or ‘Exploration.’

Every new Experiment is but a small bite into a much larger fruit, but each one also tells us something new about our property, our grapes and about the larger subject of wine itself. Only the most compelling Experiments are bottled and released to our mailing list collectors. Many lessons gleaned from Experiment have in turn become new winery practice and informed successive vintages of an estate wine, such as Hexameter.

2018 Red Experiment N3.8

The resultant wine, 2018 Experiment N3.8, is our third vintage from this series. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, N3.8 bursts with notes of cassis, boysenberry, cherry and forest floor. Cocoa nibs, vanilla bean and sandalwood aromas round out this rich and redolent neighborly adventure that is sure to please for years to come.

2019 Red Experiment N4.9

The result of this exploration is a wine with great richness, color and depth. We found the slightly cooler afternoons of the west side to be important in steering the fruit's expression and secondary aromas. Notes of forest floor, pine bow, and blue and black fruit exude from the glass - a juxtaposition to our estate expressions. These distinct and delicious differences will give us plenty of food for thought as we consider our approach to canopy management, leaf removal (or not) and how we might use shoot laterals to our advantage.

2020 Red Experiment N5.0

The production of this exploration, 2020 Experiment N5.0, is our fifth vintage from this series. Cabernet Sauvignon reveals its true depth in this wine. Enticing notes of fresh blueberry, boysenberry and blackberry bramble meld with camphor, forest floor, fresh pine bow and nutmeg. Decadent and saturating, this undeniably delicious wine will delight for years to come.

2021 Red Experiment N6.1

The 2021 Experiment N6.1 is our sixth vintage in this series. This blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon radiates notes of fresh plum, black cherry, fresh crushed blackberry, dark chocolate, red tobacco and wet stone. Round and redolent across the palate, this neighborly adventure will continue to tell its delightful tale well into the future.

2022 Red Experiment N7.2

The 2022 Experiment N7.2 reveals fresh aromas of mulberry, black cherry, Asian plum, and violet candies, bolstered by notes of cocoa powder, mint and wet stone. Supple, burnished and vibrant, this neighborly adventure lingers across the palate with great balance and density and will delight for decades to come.

2023 Red Experiment N8.3

The 2023 Red Experiment N8.3 opens with notes of perfectly ripe mulberry, blackberry, cola and cassis. Vibrant plum, graham cracker, caramel, wet asphalt and flint aromas uncover layers of depth and dimension. Burnished tannin lingers across the palate with beautiful texture and tension, revealing the power that exists behind this Experiment.
