Nose

Aromatics of raspberry confiture, white pepper, Chinese five-spice, lavender and white flowers fill the glass.

Palate

A full, dense, layered palate with tons of length.

Growing Conditions

Ritual has been a constantly evolving wine for us: the diverse varietals, vineyard sources and their micro-climates and soil types, always provide exciting flavor, textural and aromatic possibilities. The result is a wine that, therefore, expresses much more than one terroir or one varietal imprint, but rather it greatly reflects the vintage and growing season. The warmth and steady nature of 2014 provided Ritual with a beautiful backbone and tons of juicy, rich, sexy fruit.
