Crafted from some of the darkest-skinned grapes on the planet, this shadowy blend is packed with inky and rich black fruit flavors and holds a mysteriously vast appearance in the glass. The name is a direct translation—Vin Noir means Black Wine in French—and this bottle shows off the dimension and significance of grape color in winemaking. There are approximately 30-40 grapes that make up the majority of red wines on the global market. When organized from light to bold, the varieties in this blend tip the scales on the bold side. Because red wine primarily takes its color from grape skins, this wine goes deep. Heavily pigmented, the skins of varieties such as Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, and Shiraz are often used by winemakers in blends when a red wine lacks the desired depth of color or tannins. Fascinated by the power of these varieties when it comes to both color and flavor, our winemaking team has intentionally created a release that exhibits an extreme dark fruit character and shade. Relying almost exclusively on deep purple wines, this release is nearly opaque. It’s exceptionally rich, lush, and full-bodied in the mouth and in the glass. The profound personality of Vin Noir is a succulent trip to the far end of the color spectrum, loaded with black cherry and blackberry, plus layers of vanilla and baking spices. For this bottle, we’d certainly serve beef as the centerpiece—Vin Noir is an ideal match for Cooper’s Hawk Filet Mignon or Trio of Medallions.
