This one-off bottling from K Estate “bridges” two vintages, so if you can find it, grab it. The 2023 season was hot and dry, with Brix levels rising quickly—many wines ended up tart or unbalanced, but not this one. It’s beautifully composed, with ripe fruit and a spicy herbal edge layered over volcanic earth tones. Subtle sweetness from barrel aging rounds out the palate, leading to a nicely balanced finish. Winemaker Jason Englert oversees an 80,000 case production across all Heath Family Brands (Grape Creek Vineyards, Heath Sparkling Wines, Jenblossom Cellars and Invention Vineyards).
