Bright raspberries, cherries and plum with graphite and cassis undertones. Juicy, mouthwatering acidity, gentle chalky tannins and a medium body. With air, rhubarb, sumac and forest-floor notes emerge; precise, lively and expressive.

Roast chicken, mushroom risotto, seared salmon, duck breast, pork tenderloin; Asian: miso-glazed salmon, teriyaki pork, shiitake ramen, char siu, grilled yakitori.

Production Method
Hand-harvested fruit from three Sonoma Coast sites; small open-top fermentations; aged in French oak (≈32% new). Farming practices: biodynamic & conventional.
