「トレアナ」はホープファミリーの手掛ける最高のワインの一つ。カリフォルニアの大地、太陽の日差し、冷涼な海風などワイン造りに影響するすべての要素の集大成です。2018年の生育期は数週間を除き例年通りの降雨量で、穏やかな気候でした。7月はとても暑い時期があり葡萄の成熟期が遅れました。しかしこのことでかえって理想的な品質の良い素晴らしい葡萄を収穫することができました。色合いは美しい深いワインレッド、カシスのアロマにバニラビーンズ、濃厚なブラックベリー、ベーキングスパイス(菓子作りに使用するスパイス)が香ります。タンニンと酸味が重なり合い、余韻が長く続きます。10年から15年の年月を優美に熟成していきます。

Known for its depth of character and balancing finesse, this wine possess enticing aromas of cassis, clove and vanilla bean. On the pallet, warming flavors of dark fruit, burnt sugar and baking spices mingle with a hint of leather. The wine finishes with full bodied tannins that delicately linger.
Vineyard Notes: 2019 was a challenging growing season. Above average rainfall persisted throughout the spring with the last rainfall occurring May 31st. These conditions kept the spring free of frost threats but relatively cool, leading to slow vine growth. The cooler weather also delayed fruit development. The summer months were somewhat erratic with short heat waves followed by cooler periods. These conditions helped the vines and clusters to somewhat catch up. Ultimately, the cooler weather persisted with only a few autumn heat spikes, leading to slower berry maturities and a later harvest. Mid- late October brought overnight freezes which required some harvest mitigation, but by early November harvest was complete.
Winemaker Notes: After harvest, vineyard lots were fermented individually in stainless-steel tanks for 14 to 20 days. Carefully managed pump overs and extended macerations enhanced the extraction of color and tannin. The varietals were aged separately for 16 months in French oak barrels, of which 25% were once used and 25% were twice used. The initial blend was assembled in spring of 2021 and barrel-aged an additional 3 months in 100% new French oak. The wine was racked only twice during its cellar life, with the final racking occurring just prior to bottling.
