Dark purple-black; fragrant scents of dates, blackberry, fig, and plum. Blueberry, raspberry, and black olive flavors wrap around a spicy oak frame. With its fine-grained, silky tannins the mid-palate will become broader and more refined with age. Finishes with an touch of walnut.
Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt makes his Oakville Game Ranch in a very approachable, elegant style. Sourced from the eastern-end of Oakville Cross Rd, the soils here transition from volcanic red clay to brown, gravelly loam. They offer exceptionally good drainage which controls vigor, produce smaller berries and ultimately wines with deeper concentration. Soil water-holding capacity is sufficient enough to prevent dehydration, thus protecting the critical fruit flavor-to-alcohol balance. Goldschmidt Game Ranch shows gorgeous fruit, ripe tannins, and savory minerality.
