"I love this wine each year...this is a wine of impact and tremendous grace. It thunders, in its way. And despite the fruit and supple ripeness of it, the highlight, undoubtedly for me, is the tannic shape of it." - Erin Larkin

A unique parcel within Rippon, Tinker’s Field is a gentle, north-facing slope formed by an ancient ejection cone of coarse schist gravels. Tinker’s Field is home to the oldest vines on the property and is named after Rippon’s visionary founder, Rolfe Mills (Tink to his friends), and the land that he had dreamed of farming since childhood.

Form and feel - Layered, detailed, compressed power, precise, unforced masculinity.
