The Wine
Erath’s 2021 Auction cuvée, Marvel, showcases Block 37 of our Willakia Estate Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. Block 37 is rocky, causing the vines to produce smaller berries which translate into a wine of deep color and concentration accompanied by a bit of survivalist attitude. Dark fruits and charismatic acidity supported by broad shoulders deliver immediate reward to the less patient, yet vastly greater return to the avid collector. Fasten your seat belt. Take a walk on the wild side with this truly one-of-a-kind “Marvel.” The wine was aged 15 months in 60% new French oak barrels.
Learn more about this wine during Preview Week, when winemaker Gary Horner will present this wine during a virtual tasting session on July 30. Register here.
