Tasting Notes
2020 Painted Fields Curse of Knowledge, Sierra Foothills ($25) A powerhouse that effortlessly releases red and blue fruit into a stream of violets and mountain brush. Fine acidity leans into an inner meatiness that keeps it as fresh as it is bold and complex. Floral and fruit aromatics persist through the finish.
Vineyard Notes
Decomposed Granite, Sandy Loam

Winemaker Notes
This red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc
will thwart the curse of knowledge on the Sierra Foothills
and immerse on a new dimension of perfectly balanced,
well-structured and high-quality red wine.
The intense ruby color and a sensational bouquet of dried
violet, black cherry, fresh herbs, and cocoa powder will catch
your attention. A balanced mid-palate, generous and round
due to the velvety tannins with a lingering finish of dark
berries and black licorice. Drink now to taste the brightness
of our fruits or age in your cellar for the next decade.
