A gutsy and assertive red who knows exactly who she is and what she’s all about! The Bridge drinks like a Northern Rhône Syrah who quit their job, moved to the West Coast, and started meditating daily.
The nose draws you in with its tones of warm spicy plum and freshly-baked terra cotta. Texture is soft but freckled with prickling acidity like stars in a rural night sky. Palate is driven by earthy notes of rain-drenched sandalwood and sweet tobacco, then followed up by fruit flavours of freshly-picked blackberry, so precise they’re practically staining your fingertips. Finish is savoury, long, and brilliantly green; pair with Woody Guthrie tunes, campfire-grilled vegetables, and your softest flannel shirt.
GOOD FOR —
Leaping around a ravine with an off-leash German Shepherd
Gazing out the window at a late autumn snowfall
Putting your phone on Do Not Disturb for forty-eight straight hours
Roasted root vegetables, a blazing campfire, and a Patagonia fleece
This wine is great now but can be cellared until 2029. Serve at classic cellar temp- if you want to get fancy, decant for 20-30 minutes before enjoying.
THE STORY BEHIND THE WINE
THE BRIDGE
Clouds slowly sat down letting some light in. Surroundings still lacked clarity, but there it stood. The bridge. Disappearing into the fog in the distance. All roads seemed to lead in this direction, but the first steps were filled with hesitation and doubt. No indications on the length of the journey, stepping forward took courage and conviction.
Step by step, the creaks of the old wood slowly faded. Learning the balance to move more confidently builds strength. Posture straightened, the backdrop revealed more detail. Fear began to dissipate, and vision became clearer. This is the way.
No end in sight, but remaining resolute, the journey continues. Onward, building values, trusting the bridge and its direction. Joy in the journey serving as fuel.
