2022 Nyx Estate Bottled | Red Mountain

Our Mythology Series wines seek to emulate styles that we admire from around the world, seen through a Red Mountain lens. Nyx pays homage to the mavericks of the wine world - Italy’s Super Tuscan blends. Varietal Sangiovese from Kiona is nothing new - we planted our first block at Ranch at the End of the Road 25 years ago. But using it as the headliner in a blend is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time, and this wine is the culmination of those behind-closed-door discussions.

Winemaker Tyler Williams has an interest in blending wines that offer a stylistic counterpoint to the traditional Red Mountain style. This “Red Mountain 2.0” movement calls for higher acid levels, lower alcohol levels, and shorter, less intense oak regimens that allow the fruit to shine. We want to offer high-end Red Mountain wines that you can see through.

Bucking the vertically-blended precedent set by our other Mythology Series wines, Nyx carries a vintage designation - all components hail from the 2022 vintage.
