Impassable Mountain Reserve
Velvety oak meets fruity intensity
The 2017 vintage of the Immortal Estate Impassable Mountain Reserve is a deep, rich ruby red. The visual intensity indicates the concentration of the aromas and the maturity of the wine. The clear, shiny color promises a high-quality taste experience.
Complex aromas of oak, vanilla and chocolate unfold on the nose, accompanied by intense notes of black fruits such as plum and blackberry. Subtle hints of leather and earthy nuances, underlined by a fine mineral freshness, round off the bouquet.
On the palate, the wine is lush and full-bodied. Soft, velvety tannins harmonize perfectly with a pronounced fruit sweetness and subtle wood notes. The present acidity ensures a refreshing finish, while notes of dark chocolate and oak linger.
This wine is made from hand-picked grapes from Sonoma County in California. The careful aging in French oak barrels gives it its complex aromas and silky texture. The special vinification and terroir make this wine unique and particularly noble.
The Immortal Estate is located in the renowned Sonoma County in California. The winery, known for its excellent locations and dedication to winemaking, combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The history of the winery goes back to the 20th century, which underlines its expertise and quality.
Most exclusive luxury wines with 100 points from the wild Californian mountains.
Juan Servin has been working in the windy heights of the Mayacama Mountains for decades. In an environment where workers give up or stop coming to work because the gradient of over 55 degrees and the 1000 meters of altitude are taking their toll. Here Juan looks after "his vineyard", his family, and defends it against forest fires, wild animals and drought. He himself doesn't drink wine. But Robert Parker does.
People find bottles of good wine on the sea floor that last for decades and centuries. A bottle of wine is therefore like an almost immortal testimony to time, a snapshot of a region. The wine from these vineyards is such a wine. “This wine is almost immortal. A legacy.” (Robert Parker, 100P., 2013).
What Robert Parker discovered as a real insider tip from Sonoma was soon celebrated as a worldwide sensation . Back in the 1990s, winemakers A. Hofacket and T. Milos laid the foundation for the almost 60ha Hidden Ridge Vineyards, which have since become known under the rebranding Immortal Estate , the winery with the immortal jellyfish on the label. Timothy Milos is the genius behind the wines and now brings over 20 years of experience with these very vines into the bottle. After years of hard work, he pulled off a coup in 2013: he produced his first 100-Parker-point wine. After that, Robert Parker retired.
“Once is not enough - the trick is to be consistent in your results,” says owner Daniel Nichols. And Immortal Estate has held its own: since the 2013 vintage, all Impassable wines have consistently been above 97 points and all Slope wines have consistently been above 93 points. The 2016 vintage was another coup: 100 points! Robert Paker's successor, Jeb Dunnuck, awarded the highest score and spoke of pure perfection.
The goal is to produce immortal luxury wines in small quantities with an extremely long drinking maturity.
These wines are absolute treasures, whose aromas and value will continue to multiply over the next 20-30 years. Impassable Mountain Reserve & Slope 2016 - now exclusively for Europe at Vioneers.
