Winemaking notes
Novicium – A wine so named for being the ongoing study of our Sage Mountain Vineyard. Our “novitiate” offers a decidedly different glimpse, giving us greater freedom as winegrowers to further explore the myriad of elements that give our Sage Mountain Vineyard distinction.
Viticultural notes
Novicium comes from the same site on Pritchard Hill as its more famous sibling Continuum. The blend consists of:
76% Cabernet Sauvignon
10% Cabernet Franc
12% Petit Verdot
2% Merlot
Tasting notes
Novicium displays its signature approachability with a fresh and playful nose of red fruit and candied apple mixed with autumn leaves, bay laurel and the slightest hint of dewy spring peonies. A vibrant and direct wine, Novicium has a plush entry and weighted mid palate of dark chocolate, black fruit, brown spice and tapenade.
