The 2019 Novicium displays its predecessors’ signature approachability with a fresh and
playful nose of red fruit and candied apple mixed with autumn leaves, bay laurel and the
slightest hint of dewy spring peonies. A vibrant and direct wine, 2019 Novicium has a plush
entry and weighted mid palate of dark chocolate, black fruit, brown spice and tapenade. A
vintage character both friendly and powerful, with Sage Mountain Vineyard’s iron core and a brightly expressed structure and finish.
