The 2022 Abstract pours a dark purple core with a neon, ruby rim. The nose is quintessential Abstract but with a broodier twist—notes of ripe black plum, cacao, black pepper, cedar, dried porcini, forest floor musk and sweet oak. The entry is coating and flooding with hints of blueberry preserves, tarragon, balsamic glaze and anise. Bright and lifting through the palate, the finish offers an umami note akin to eggplant yakitori.

Aged for 8 months in French Oak, 31% New.

Piece by piece, Dave put together the famous Abstract collage over the course of four weeks after years of ripping out images from magazines. Each image on their own conveys a special story , yet together, they express Dave’s own story. Similarly, the wine is a collage of hundreds of wine lots, each tasted, trial blended and tasted again to determine the final iteration; each lot tells its own story, but blended together, they become part of the Abstract saga.
