Bright red-to-black fruits (black cherry, boysenberry) with orange peel, juniper and sandalwood; mossy underbrush, savory mushroom and a layered, long finish—pure, detailed and finely textured.

Production Method
Strict vineyard selection from two neighboring sites; single-lot fermentation, aged 15 months in 45% new French oak; bottled unfiltered; multi-clonal field blend.
