This wine is spirited, memorable and impressively generous and balanced, showing strength and complexity. Delicate red fruits from Laguna along with tannins from Lancel Creek mix with the power and intensity of fruit from our estate vineyard on Westside Road. This wine has a wonderful mid-palate and a lasting finish. Its character will last for decades. Clones used in this wine are Pommard, Calera, 777, and Pisoni. Fruit was night harvested by hand and de-stemmed with 10% whole clusters added. Only French oak barrels were used – 40% new.  Malolactic fermentation was allowed to occur naturally. Barrels were transferred to the coldest section of the barrel room and remained in contact with lees for less than 15 months, before being racked once and blended for bottling. Alcohol 14.4%.

Only 400 cases handcrafted, $60 per bottle, minimum (3) three-bottle order.

TASTE: Fresh picked strawberries and bright red flowers explode up front, and tropical notes bring you back home.

SMELL: The nose is bursting and vibrant with bright fresh citrus and floral aromas.

COMPLEMENTS: The freshness of this wine makes it a perfect match for cheese or charcuterie. It also has the weight and structure to hold up to heavier fare.
