Tasting note
Aromas of raspberry, cherry and cranberry mingle with notes of dried herbs and flowers. The palate is full of concentrated red berries, spice, and liquorice flavours with a juicy mid palate framed by fine tannins.
Vineyard
This wine comes from select vineyards in four top growing regions: Amador County (50%), El Dorado County (25%), Lake County (20%), and Napa County (5%).
Viticulture
There were light rains in January and February with no notable precipitation for the rest of the growing season. This allowed the fruit to flower and set beautifully, leading into a warm summer without major heat spikes. Sustainable farming practices throughout the growing season were tailored to each block
Vinification
The grapes were carefully destemmed and optically sorted to ensure only perfect fruit made it into the wine. A cold soak extracted color and flavor before primary fermentation began in tank. The wine was gently basket-pressed and then racked to oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging.
Food Match
Our favourite pairings for this wine include braised short ribs, lasagna Bolognese, and pan roasted rack of lamb.
