Combining ripe, robust flavors from warmer locales in Boonville with the bright and ethereal qualities of Pinot Noir from the coldest reaches of Navarro, the Dowser's Cuvee is a complex wine layered with blueberries, strawberry rhubarb, sandalwood, and toasty new French oak, finishing with supple tannins and lingering flavors of cherries and spice.
Winery Notes:
There are many differences between vineyards in this small appellation but the majority of them do share a common influence – the cooling effect that follows the Russian River inland from the Pacific coast.
The 2019 Bella Union opens with inviting aromas of black cherry, dark plum, blueberry, and cassis with intimations of warm oak, vanilla, and baking spices.
The Brady Vineyard Cabernet Franc is exuberant, featuring deep scarlet color and aromas reminiscent of black cherry and plum with subtle notes of vanilla and cedar.
Made from Pinot Noir grapes (clones: Martini, Pommard, Mount Eden & Wadenswil) grown on the Scribe Estate on the southwest facing slope of Arrowhead Mountain.
Handcrafted by renowned winemaker Ed Kurtzman, the Mansfield-Dunne 2013 Peterson Vineyard pinot noir contains a mix of all 5 clones planted in the vineyard (828, Pommard (05), 667, 777, and 115).
