Winemaker Notes
Aromas of sweet, spicy vanilla from the oak barrels enhance the wine’s fresh earthiness. On the palate, smooth, fine tannins elevate the warm spices and vibrant red berry flavors. With balanced medium acidity and a juicy core, it finishes with medium length, capturing the finesse and complexity of the Russian River Valley.
