fun fact:  Craig the winemaker changes the label every year to best suit the wine. The photo on the 2022 label was taken by him in Tokyo, Japan in 2015 of some graffiti on a wall at about 3am. The image was always in his “future label” folder, and he thinks it resonates perfectly with this Cortez. Mysterious but beautiful at the same time.
