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.

Tasting Notes

2021 Red Experiment N6.1

Sometimes you need an external frame of reference to reshape ideas or a new conversation to challenge perceptions. With this in mind, we decided to purchase a small amount of fruit from a neighboring vineyard.

Methodology

First, we walked the rows, scrutinized the clone selection and studied the row orientation and trellis setup - learning the why and how of our neighbor's site. Their different approach provides us the opportunity to learn and improve what we do here at the estate.

In Conclusion

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.
