Flavor Profile
Penumbra is a beautifully deep, dark red wine with super-rich black fruit and baking spice flavors. The name refers to the shadow cast by the earth or moon over an area experiencing a partial eclipse, where light and shadow meet to create something extraordinary. You’ll find that same harmony in this captivating red blend.
It’s crafted by Bill Knuttel, a California winemaking legend with decades of expertise (including stints at top estates Saintsbury and Chalk Hill). Bill has enviable connections across the state, and he sourced the grapes for Penumbra from an acclaimed, family-run estate who has cultivated vineyards in the Lodi region for 40 years.
Cabernet Sauvignon brings classic structure and bold black fruit notes, while Petite Sirah contributes depth, color and velvety richness. Bill also chose to age the wine in oak, which imparted delicious hints of cocoa, vanilla bean, toasted oak and baking spices.
This sumptuous, full-bodied red wine will be a treat to sip on its own. It also pairs well to equally full-flavored dishes, from grilled red meats to hearty winter stews.
Like an eclipse, this exclusive red won’t be around for long. Secure your share today.
