2021 Tusk Estates L'Orange | Pritchard Hill, Napa Valley California 750ml

Tusk is a luxury wine custom designed to fit your lifestyle. Five years in development. Three lifetimes in the making. Tusk is the wine we were born to create, the loving result of our passion, commitment, and belief. Born of the best vineyards in Napa Valley, we believe that Tusk is master winemaker Philippe Melka's finest masterpiece and has become the next great luxury brand.
Tusk L'Orange is the name we gave to our new label that is a blend of different Bordeaux varietals dependent on our master winemaking team's discretion each year. The name L'Orange comes from the only accent color in Tusk's black-and-ivory dominated color scheme. We associate orange with warmth and creativity, so we thought it would be perfect for a rare new addition to our close-knit Tusk family.

The 2021 Tusk L'Orange is entirely composed of our Pritchard Hill vineyard, comprising 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Petite Verdot. Each lot was individually fermented, averaging 4 days of cold soak and 19 days on the skins. Aged in oak barrels for 20 months, from various coopers and forests to carefully match the terroir of each vineyard block (90% new French Oak). This beautiful wine balances the elegance of our Pritchard Hill vineyard, with just the right amount of Petite Verdot to provide enhanced structure and opulence. The L'Orange is ink-like in color, with inviting aromas of fresh herbs (thyme & bay leaf), floral notes, garrigue, and crushed granite. The mouthfeel is multi-dimensional; showing lovely fleshiness with smooth tannins supported by density, and its huge energy. The wine has incredible balance and weight showcasing flavors of beautiful barrel spices, vanilla, chocolate-covered cherry, cassis, sweet tobacco and espresso bean. This wine has a long, extended finish giving a potential for great age ability, yet is already quite pleasing in its youth! 350 cases produced | Tusk Estates
