Eminence Road 2023 Hector

From Andrew: "The last wine from this block. At the very bottom of Leidenfrost vineyard there were a few rows planted to cabernet franc and sauvignon. Spur pruned, full of weeds, gnarly 30-plus year-old vines growing right out of the rocks. The wine always tastes just like standing down there, somehow, and we cherished those grapes. Over the past few years the block has started to decline due to leafroll virus. The vines will be pushed out, the soil will have a rest and who knows what the future holds. This 2023 blend is our last vinous communication from these plants. Raised in the first two barrels we ever bought--way back in 2009--made of Pennsylvania white oak air seasoned for three years."
