Rosehall Run Sully’s Mix
Details
Rosehall Run Sully’s Mix 2024 — For this vintage of Sully’s Mix, winemaker Lee Baker elected to employ carbonic maceration, only implemented once before over a decade ago. The blend is a mix of Pinot Noir (80%) from estate fruit with the remaining balance of the blend comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon (15%), and Merlot (5%), both coming from Nedelko Vineyards located on the Twenty Mile Bench. The Pinot Noir spent time in stainless steel, while the Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot spent approximately four months in French oak barrels and was blended in after the fact. A true mix tape here with a nose of ripe raspberries, anise, herbs, savoury notes, bubble gum, purple plums and gentle spice notes. It’s a touch reductive on the palate with woodsy/savoury notes, darker berries, raspberries, black licorice, earthy notes, juicy plums and subtle spice notes with a lifted, finessed finish. Can cellar through 2031.
Music pairing: Taking a page from Sullivan’s Spotify mix tape, we’re going with Ball of Confusion by The Temptations.
