2022 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 2022 Tusk L'Orange is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petite Verdot. The vineyard selection comprises 70% from our Pritchard Hills vineyards, and the balance from our Oakville and Coombsville vineyards. 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 French 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. Our focus with this challenging vintage was to over-deliver and create a wine with an incredible palette of flavors. After tasting L'Orange, the result is spectacular, showcasing an extremely charming wine. This wine is "solaire" with dark berries, sweet ripe plum, creosote, tar, and spices. The mouthfeel is flowing, marked by a beautiful creme de cassis and ripe strawberries aromas and finishing with seductive and long tannins. 450 cases produced. | Philippe Melka for Tusk Estates
