As a kid growing up in California, “Killer Drop” always had a special meaning of adrenaline filled days with friends spent in the ocean or on the mountain. Whether it was dropping into a wave from a massive swell or dropping into a bowl on a fresh powder day, Killer Drop defined our world of extreme excitement, fun and living life to the fullest.
After many years spent in the wine business, Killer Drop was always in the back of my mind. One late night, while pulling numerous corks with friends, the vision for Killer Drop came to fruition as someone exclaimed,
I was immediately transported back to those adrenaline filled days and knew what had to be done…I set out with my good friend and winemaker, Kent Rasmussen, to create a “Killer Drop of Wine” for our friends and family.
Fast forward and years later our passions for making wine and chasing adventure have come full circle with the creation of Killer Drop. Our blend’s vibrant color and intense silk, black cherry, and chocolate notes will instantly remind you of life’s greatest rushes.
Our 2018 release of Killer Drop brings together fruit from distinct regions of Northern California including Napa Valley, Sonoma, Sierra Foothills, Lodi and Mendocino. Each region provides distinct characteristics into the final blend, an expressive wine with multiple layers of complexity and balance.
Deep purple-black, Killer Drop comes bounding out of the glass with notes of baked blackberries, blueberry pie and tilled earth with hints of tobacco and espresso. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is incredibly fresh, elegant and polished, showing plenty of power and energy in the midpalate. The wine is soft and beautifully textured with ripe, velvety tannins; it has invigorating freshness and a long, multi-layered finish of red berry and black cherry fruit.
