Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Syrah plucked from vines a half-century old, this wine rested in neutral French oak for a year. The balanced, medium-bodied Old Vine possesses muscular tannins, jangly acidity and a chalky texture. Aromas and flavors of blackberry jam, orange zest, earthy beeswax and cumin seed make for a joyous experience. (Editors’ Choice) ... More details

Winery
2022 Ovum Old Vine Red has a translucent ruby color that saturates into deep red. Intensely aromatic – perfectly ripe Bing cherry dusted with charred thyme, blueberry and sage. Multi-layered fruit and dried herbal notes lead to medium bodied palate, filled with fruit and soft tannin. The finish has a noticeable grip reminiscent of old school Bordeaux, which leads us to believe this bottling may have aging potential in the 5-10 year range.

Region: Oregon

The beautiful state of Oregon has, over the past few decades, become increasingly well known and respected for its wine industry, with several small but significant wineries within the state receiving world wide attention for the quality of their produce. Whilst the first vineyards within Oregon were planted in the 1840s, the state's wine industry didn't really take off until the 1960s, when several wine producers from California discovered that the cooler regions of the state were ideal for cultivating various fine grape varietals. Today, Oregon has over four hundred and fifty wineries in operation, the vast majority of which are used for the production of wines made from Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir varietal grapes, both of which thrive in the valleys and mountainsides which characterise the landscape of the state.

Country: United States

Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
