Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Tournahu vineyard, a new addition for Vermeil Wines, brings a unique character from the heart of St. Helena. Aromas of cocoa-dusted red fruits and leather invite you in, while the palate showcases vibrant black cherry, delicate crushed violets, and fine-grained tannins. A refreshing acidity brightens the finish, balancing the richness of the fruit and adding lift. This wine is approachable now but has excellent aging potential, with the promise of evolving complexity over the next 8-15 years.
