The bouquet of our 2021 Old Vine Cuvee opens with a dazzling array of ripe berries. Aromatics of strawberry, dark cherry, and blackberry sail from the glass. The palate follows in tow, with a wealth of ripe red and black fruits that are all melded together with refreshing acidity and a velvet-like texture. It is an excellent vintage that has all of the classic bold fruit you expect from this blend, along with the luscious texture of Lodi.
Winemaking Notes
The 2021 Old Vine Cuvee is a unique blend of Petite Sirah and Teroldego. Teroldego is an uncommon varietal that imparts a tremendous amount of ripe berry fruit flavors into the final blend, while also lending wonderfully approachable structure and texture to the wine. This ancient grape variety has been cultivated in Italy for thousands of years and is somewhat of a rarity to find in plantings in California.
Vintage Notes
2021 was an excellent growing season that produced wines of remarkable quality, intensity, and complexity. It was a low-yielding vintage, and the grapes that made it to harvest possessed incredible concentration. Generally speaking, 2021s have an approachable structure, yet retain a balancing component of refreshing acidity.

Tim and Steph Busch have always had a passion for wine and the wine country, and in 2002 they realized their dream of starting a winery. Trinitas Cellars is a small winery in Napa Valley that is still owned and operated by the Busch family, including their children Garrett and Kenzie.
Trinitas celebrates the connection among sun, soil, and humanity by working closely with its grower society throughout the Napa Valley and other wine growing regions in Northern California. Furthermore, Trinitas sources a broad range of varietals from the regions where climate and soil conditions are most favorable. Small quantities of these exceptional grapes are then handcrafted into an approachable, California wine to be enjoyed as an aperitif or with food. Some of our best wines come from historical vineyards in Northern California with a selection of vines that are over a century old.

91 points. This wine is concentrated, inky with aromas of boysenberry, blueberry, allspice, violet, and dried herbs on the nose. The flavors on the palate are blueberry, black cherry, spiced peach, grapefruit zest, and clove gliding into pink peppercorn, creamy chocolate, espresso, and a long lingering finish. Pair with Tri Tip. — Tonya Pitts 9/1/24

Seems all may be hunkering down in hiding in an attempt to avoid all the cold weather; or so the news reported of NYC rats this morning.

Take a chance with a neighbor that wants to split. Above description sounds great.
