The palate is tender and polished, culminating in a juicy yet powerful finish that beautifully balances high-toned energy with deep, grounded intensity.

Ripe raspberry fruit, pomegranate, spice, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco are beautifully amplified in the glass, while a kick of blood orange-driven acids lends an exotic flair.

A racy, classy wine from this well-known Santa Cruz Mountains site. The 2021 is tight, inward and not fully expressive of place just yet.
Excellent intensity and power, varietal and earthy, aromas of strawberry and red plum, baked red berries and wood spices laced with a touch of barrel-smoke.

tilles. Bright and juicy cherry and raspberry flavours are zippy thanks to great acidity. Fine, grippy tannins linger with freshly chopped herbs in the finish. Delicious.
