Pull back the curtain with aromas of fresh boysenberry tart, wild blueberry preserves, and old cigar box that set the stage for flavors of warm blackberry pie, black currant, and crème de violet. Plentiful tannins linger through the finish finely intertwined with notes of black cherry, dark chocolate, and new leather. Full-bodied and balanced, this makes an amazing pairing with black angus flatiron with Bordelaise sauce.
We’re showing off the best blending of vineyards in the Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys. Thanks to the region’s cooling coastal nighttime influence, grapes enjoy a lengthened “hang” time that cultivates intense flavors. The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented in stainless-steel tanks on its native yeast. After the fermentation finished, the wine went into French oak barrels to age for the next 48 months before being bottled unfined.
