Winemaker's Notes
Very dark purple. Black plum and blackberry jam aromas and notions of olive
tapenade and dried sage. A full bodied palate with firm, age-worthy tannins
and acidity, and concentrated flavors of boysenberry, dark chocolate and
marzipan that linger through the long, rich finish.

TRIG POINT
“A “trig” has been used for many years
to establish boundary lines.
Trigonometrical stations were set on the
top of hills and used as surveying sites.
Just as my father was a land surveyor
and used these trigs as a reference, so
do I when it comes to well-known
vineyard sites” Nick Goldschmidt,
Winemaker.
Trig Point is produced by Nick
Goldschmidt and his wife Yolyn. After
flying the globe for many years as the
head-winemaker for the likes of Simi,
Allied Domecq, and Beam Estates, Nick
decided to start a family company with
his wife Yolyn in 1998. The goal of the
company was to focus on site specific
wine making from great vineyard sites
from around the world. Having produced
so many world class wines from around
the globe, Nick knew exactly from which
vineyard sites he would choose to make
his wines.
The wines Nick and Yolyn Goldschmidt
produce are all single vineyard,
handcrafted, small production, artisan
wines.
