Sonoma County's incredibly site-specific soils and the fog that cloaks the land inspired this barrel select wine. A seductive wine that begins with an alluring bouquet of violets, rose hips and dark plum and opens up to a soft, silky texture that showcases earthiness and flavors of star anise and plum.
95 points | Wine Enthusiast | "Beautiful, edgy flavors of rhubarb and sour cherries join ripe black cherries in this powerfully fruity wine. Savory touches of pine and mint add extra interest, while subtle oak spices from 35% new French barrels hardly intrude on the fruit. Light tannins and good balance make it especially mouth-watering" —James Gordon
“Great depth, subtle flavors and a soothing, broad texture make this outstanding wine a treat to sip. Its fruity notes are restrained as the palate emphasizes almond, brown-butter and fig flavors that ride a creamy texture.” 94 points, Wine Enthusiast
