The mild climate  of our estate vineyard, tempered by foggy mornings and combined with the long growing season, allows our grapes to fully develop structure and complexity while retaining fresh and bright fruit flavors. Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, 20% new, this wine displays aromas of dark cherry and plum with overtones of cocoa and vanilla, giving way to a lush mouthfeel, smoothly integrated tannins, and a long fruit finish.
