Winemaker Notes

Handcrafted from premium vineyards across California’s coastal regions — from Monterey and San Benito on the Central Coast to Suisun Valley in the north. The diversity in soil and climate contributes to remarkable balance and depth. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and carefully destemmed to express bright fruit while maintaining freshness.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant aromas of Bing cherry and dark plum, enhanced by cinnamon, potpourri, and Tahitian vanilla bean. On the palate: fresh strawberry, dried cranberry, raspberry cream, white grapefruit zest, and dried bay leaf. Medium-bodied with fine-grained, integrated tannins and a dry, mouthwatering finish.

Pairings

• Roast chicken or grilled salmon — the bright fruit and silky tannins are a natural match.
• Mushroom risotto — earthy flavors complement the wine’s depth.
• Aged cheeses — the dry finish and acidity cleanse the palate between bites.
