Nose
Deep, brooding fruits, weave with aromas of leather, warm earth, fennel seed and dusty lavender.
Palate
Nicely structured, flavors of black cherry, cassis, pomegranate, juicy cranberry and red plum come together with toasty oak and integrated tannins.
Growing Conditions
The grapes used for this Rhone-style blend are sourced from Landa Vineyard, located in the low eastern foothills
of the Mayacamas, tucked away just one mile for the town square in Sonoma. This site experiences warm
days, and is protected from winds. This, combined with the cool valley nights, makes the vineyard ideal for
slow, even ripening
Aging
De-stemmed and cold soaked for 6 days before
fermentation. Barrel aged in French oak, 30% of which
was new.
