Lot #29 Ektimo Vineyards

Never again will an assemblage of 226,914 grapes squeeze so perfectly into one barrel and create such harmonious timbre as to weave a complex tapestry of sensations that will leave an indelible mark on the select few that will experience its beauty. The “Transcendent Estate Cuvée” encapsulates the essence of uniqueness and selectivity of this singular offering as it transitions from elegant to sublime. This wine is made from grapes 100% grown on the Ektimo Estate in the heart of Green Valley. It is a collaboration of nature, science and art, each balanced to complement the other while expressing the essence of harmonized individuality.

The Xie family are on the leading edge of the growing passion for California wines in China and are on the forefront of introducing a thirsty audience to the magnificence that boutique, family owned California wineries have to offer. They are uniquely positioned to share their passion by bringing a taste of rural Sonoma County to the big city and beyond.

The Ektimo “Transcendent Estate Cuvée” is a smooth and sophisticated Pinot Noir, lithe and luscious, focused and precise. It rewards the more discerning palate with a veritable feast for the senses that will tantalize your taste buds and capture your imagination. It is ever so slightly deeper in color, richer in aroma and more concentrated on the palate. It has notes of Crimson Passion Cherry, pomegranate and Thundercloud Plum flecked with savory notes and supple tannins as smooth as satin sheets that will glide elegantly and linger enticingly.
