Defiant: Chapter 01
The nose is bold and earthy, showcasing The Rocks District’s distinctive minerality with aromas of smoked meats, black olives, and truffle, layered over ripe blackberry, dark plum, and a floral lift of violets, accented by black pepper and crushed stones. On the palate, ripe dark fruits like black cherry and blueberry lead into savory notes of cured meats, leather, and black olive tapenade, while the basalt rock soils lend a unique earthy and saline character. Velvety tannins add structure, balanced by fresh acidity, making the wine lively yet grounded. The finish is long and savory, with lingering notes of smoky bacon fat, crushed rock, and a touch of graphite.
Defiant: Chapter 02
On the nose, it’s a profound mix of savory and earthy notes, with smoked meat, black olive, and a touch of Morel mushroom. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with juicy notes of black cherry and blueberry complemented by savory flavors of cured meat and leather.
