Grapes for this wine were chosen solely for their quality and flavor. Working without sourcing constraints, our winemakers selected clusters contributing layered flavors of ripe red, blue and black fruit for rich, full-bodied structure and length. Underpinning these flavors are hints of new leather, brown sugar, spice and cocoa that wrap around a smooth mid-palate full of velvety texture and depth. On the long finish, you’ll find suggestions of toasty oak, vanillin and pepper framed by firm tannins.
Grapes for this wine were sourced from mostly Sonoma and Lake counties, with an additional 22% brought in from San Joaquin. The blend holds Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Petite Sirah and Primitivo. Here, the kitchen sink approach works well, offering classic elements of herb, leather and savory plum, with a streak of black pepper and tannins that soften in the glass.
