Throughout each month of 2020, our winemaking team set aside one special component (or lot) to be included in Duodecim, the December Wine of the Month. The name means 12 in Latin, and the product is a blend of 12 brilliant lots for one exceptional red wine. Making wine is a long game, a practice of patience and diligence. Our winemaking team is always creating, blending, waiting. Throughout the year, our Members are treated to a designated wine each month, plus several special releases. Meanwhile, at the winery, wines are biding time in barrels, tanks, or bottles until the perfect moment to be released or blended. These are what we call lots, special selections that our winemaker has determined to be unique. These could originate from a specific vineyard or region, or they could exhibit a certain outstanding characteristic. While each of these is distinct, the 12 lots included in Duodecim have something in common: they were specially chosen for this December release. There are 12 circles designed in the label for this special release, to represent each chosen lot. With so many options to play with, Duodecim is composed of an impressive selection of red wines from vineyards located throughout the United States. The resulting profile exhibits a bold array of red and dark fruit flavors and plenty of spice. Merlot, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec make up the backbone, while Tempranillo, Barbera, Cabernet Franc, and Port were selected for their beautiful aromatics and flavors to round out the palate. As for meal pairings, this wine is gorgeous with red meat, such as Cooper’s Hawk Filet Mignon or Red Wine Braised Short Ribs.
