Final Call - Week One, Library Reds

Every journey begins with a look back. As part of Ernest’s Final Call, we begin by opening our library of red wines—bottles that have carried time with them, shaped quietly by patience and place. These are wines that reflect where we’ve been and what we’ve learned along the way.

This release will remain available for one week, or until the wines are fully placed.

There’s an unexpected lift to the whole experience due to the wine’s lower alcohol and relatively bright acidity.
