Description

Deep garnet in color with rich raspberry, fig, exotic clove spice and notes of fresh mint. Layered briary fruit on the palate with cocoa and a slight crushed granite minerality. Supple tannins and long, lingering finish.

Winter rains began early in Sonoma County but ended abruptly leading to the first to two drought years. The vines responded with lower yields and smaller berries.  Inclusion of five percent allcante adds color and depth. Enjoyable now as a young wine it will develop fully over the next five years.
