Description
Winemaker Notes
A blend of four red varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, the 2019 Portrait showcases the character of each grape and the distinctive terroir at Ehlers Estate. Each of the varieties shines and is distinct from each other.
A deep ruby in color with aromas of raspberry, blueberries, Herbs de Provence, and violets. Earthy minerality with forest floor. Concentrated flavors, with a medium to full body and well-balanced tannin structure. Oak flavors of cedar, cigar box, and licorice integrate with the fruit. Long finish with balanced acidity.
Blend: 51.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16.1% Cabernet Franc, 25.8% Merlot, 6.4% Petit Verdot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nestled at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains in Saint Helena, the narrowest part of the revered Napa Valley, Ehlers Estate is an organically farmed, 42-acre vineyard with a beautiful stone winery completed in 1886. The talented Ehlers Estate winemaking team produces small, world-class, and quietly elegant wines. The product is the result of Ehlers Estates? founding principles: a passion for wine, dedication to excellence, and commitment to an enduring legacy.
Ehlers Estate is owned by the Leducq Charitable Trust, established by Jean and Sylviane Leducq in 1996. After spending most of their life in Paris and a few years in Virginia, their passion for food, wine, and the American Dream brought them to Napa Valley, where they modeled the property after a traditional Bordeaux château. The vineyards are planted with vines that produce Bordeaux varietals, including Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon and are all certified organic by the California Certified Organic Farmers nonprofit organization, or CCOF.
