We are hon­ored to share ​“Anno Quar­an­tuno” — Year 41 — a spe­cial wine cel­e­brat­ing our 41^st anniver­sary. Each year, this blend serves as a bench­mark for our craft, a reward­ing oppor­tu­ni­ty to cre­ate the best pos­si­ble wine that defines our house style. It is a metic­u­lous process where we select indi­vid­ual bar­rels from our most excep­tion­al lots long after fer­men­ta­tion, once their true poten­tial has been revealed. This is more than a wine; it’s a rep­re­sen­ta­tion of 41 years of pas­sion and skill, bot­tled right here in Templeton.

The 2022 vin­tage, despite a sig­nif­i­cant heat­wave, pro­duced grapes of incred­i­ble con­cen­tra­tion and com­plex­i­ty, mak­ing it a wor­thy year for this hon­or. Our final blend of Mer­lot, Caber­net Sauvi­gnon, Zin­fan­del, Syrah, and Petite Sir­ah was aged for 18 months in French and Amer­i­can oak. The result is a rich, com­plex wine with aro­mas of dark berries and spice, a palate of cur­rants and ripe plums, and a long fin­ish of toast and leather. While deli­cious today, Quar­an­tuno is built to age, promis­ing a spe­cial mem­o­ry for those with the patience to cel­lar it.
