2019 Sentinel

Milbrandt

Experience the elegance of The Sentinel, our Bordeaux-inspired blend crafted from the esteemed Northridge Vineyard. This sophisticated wine opens with a bold initial impression of oak, offering enticing notes of mocha, cocoa bean, and nutmeg. As you savor each sip, a lush finish of ripe black cherry and black currants emerges, creating a harmonious and memorable tasting experience.

The Sentinel hails from the Northridge Vineyard, nestled in the Wahluke Slope. This vineyard is renowned for its shallow, ancient soils layered with 8-18 inches of topsoil above a distinctive caliche barrier. This unique soil composition allows water to trickle through while restricting root growth beyond this layer, resulting in grapes with a concentrated and intense flavor profile. Untouched by the Missoula floods, the soils of Northridge Vineyard have slowly leached calcium over centuries, gradually forming the caliche that characterizes this exceptional terroir.

Let The Sentinel transport you to the remarkable Northridge Vineyard, where the perfect blend of soil, climate, and cultivation practices combine to produce a wine of unparalleled quality. Indulge in the depth and complexity of this luxurious blend, perfect for any occasion.
