Erica and Kim Crawford, after building and selling their namesake brand over nine years, sought a new venture to pursue their passion for sustainable and terroir-driven wines. They discovered a promising piece of land and were inspired by its view and potential challenges. This led to the creation of Loveblock, marking Erica and Kim's return to the wine industry. Erica contributes her viticultural expertise and passion to the project, while Kim brings his winemaking experience, both adhering to organic and low-impact farming practices. Loveblock aims to produce wines that truly reflect their terroir.
This wine displays a bright crimson color. Its aroma features big, ripe black cherry with subtle hints of mushroom and toasty oak spice. The palate offers fleshy black plum layered with cherry and sweet berries, complemented by hints of violet and savory notes. It presents bright red fruits and a savory mushroom layer, followed by sweet strawberry notes. A hint of oak and balanced drying tannins contribute to a lingering finish with brooding complexity.
