These vines produce wines of deep inky color and complexity. This vintage shows exquisite aromas of cassis, pipe tobacco, plum, and California chaparral. The high PH soils create an acid-driven mouthfeel that keeps the bold blackberry and raspberry flavors bright and fresh. These flavors carry a lingering and precise finish of fine tannins that hint at an excellent aging potential. Enjoy this wine now or hold for a few years for softened tannins and tertiary flavor development.
