Tasting Notes:
Dark chocolate, green peppercorns, and the beautiful and classic crème de cassis aromas are right upfront here. Herbal and earthy on the palate, but still powerful and complex. Reminiscent of Napa Cabernets from mid-century, there’s cherry, black plumps, and violets in the finish, with a hint of saline.

About Waypoint
An exercise in sourcing fruit from famous plots, Waypoint lets us dig deep to find fruit from unique places and have a little fun with. It starts with fantastic vineyards and folks who farm them sustainably. There are important decisions that follow, but ultimately, it’s about letting the wines speak for themselves and listening to the historic terroir. Single-vineyard wines need to stand on their own merit. Waypoint harnesses that belief and lets the vineyard and corresponding wine do all the talking.
