This appellation blend is at the core of our portfolio of wines and offers a complete portrait of the Russian River Valley. Five different clones grown in a variety of vineyards were individually fermented to produce the distinctive lots chosen for this wine. We first notice the beautiful garnet color followed by fragrances of vanilla cola, black raspberry, fresh thyme and plum compote. On entry, the mouthfeel is soft and lush, with notes of black cherry, plum, cassis and milk chocolate. Juicy acidity bonds with structured tannins and lifts the long, spicy finish.
