Built from a Solid Foundation
We are proud to present Plinth, an exciting new project from the curious minds of Jason and Flora Chang, founders of NINE SUNS and HOUYI Vineyard high atop Pritchard Hill!
“Plinth” means column, or support, and the name is wonderfully a propos for Jason and Flora’s Cabernet project, built upon the glorious foundation (the “plinth”!) of their Houyi Vineyard. Combined with powerful Cabernet from sites on the Valley floor, Plinth is poised to take center stage with Cabernet lovers. Dark fruit, incredible nuance, Mountain tannins and a velveteen texture— there’s nothing this bottle doesn’t have!
Handcrafted by NINE SUNS winemaker Lloyd Matthews, the wine is a perfect blend of powerful structure and graceful beauty. It opens with a volley of black and blue fruits--blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry--supported by complex notes of toasted vanilla bean, creme caramel, coffee, mocha, graphite, and a hint of violets and spearmint. Opulent, mouth-filling, and muscular in its full bodied expression, there is a satiny soft polish to the tannins that will bring a smile to your face.
