WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
"Indigo" – ai represents the color indigo in the Japanese language, an element used in textile dyeing for thousands of years. Indigo is a rare commodity, just as the wine that bears its name, and with aging, both evolve and soften in texture and expression.
The 2019 ai is a return to the opulent, full bodied, wines of yore. Dark aromas of black pepper, crushed granite, plum preserves and cinnamon describe this sizzling aromatic puzzle, hastening you towards a wonderfully integrated palate of supple and luscious tannins. Ambrosial fruits mingle with a divine spice, and all are framed by a soft and sweet French oak tannin. Like the Indigo artist who carefully applies his craft, the 2019 ai is constructed with the gentlest touch from our talented winemaking team. Enjoy now and for many years to come.
