The 2022 Idlewild is a beautifully layered and expressive wine, balancing depth and savoriness with freshness and lift. Dark cherry, iron, and sanguine notes intertwine with warm spices, dried herbs, violets, and graphite, creating an aromatic profile that is both complex and inviting. Crafted primarily from Piemontese varietals grown in Mendocino, Idlewild Wines has built a reputation for honoring tradition while embracing the best of California’s new-wave winemaking. With deep roots in the vineyard, winemaker Sam Bilbro brings passion, respect for the land, and a touch of magic to every bottle—resulting in wines that are both soulful and compelling.
