Nose
Pure aromas of Queen Anne cherries, berries, and Asian spice notes.
Palate
Bright flavors of bitter cherry and blood orange. Velvety, fine-grained tannins complement a long finish with subtle lavender and citrus nuances.
Growing Conditions
2012 was a moderate season in the cool climate of Marin County, which allowed beautiful flavor development. This wine is sourced from a small vineyard, on rolling hills in an area of Marin that has been home to cattle and dairies for the last century. Today there are small vineyard sites, scattered across Marin that are producing very interesting and distinct fruit.
