Mending Wall - Mortar & Stone 2022 (750ml) Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

Mending Wall - Mortar & Stone 2022 (750ml) Corton-Charlemagne Grand CruPaying tribute to one of the last remaining dry farmed, head trained vineyards in Napa Valley, the 2022 vintage proved yet again old vines know best. Impressively heat resistant, their deep roots and 360 degree canopy coverage allowed clusters to remain in impeccable shape leading up to harvest. The result in the glass is a wine loaded with dark fruit complexity, highlighted by lithe floral notes and clean acidity. Black cherry, cocoa, loam, and lilac
