Deep red to purplish in the glass, this is a food friendly wine with a lovely fresh bouquet of red berries, cherries, chocolate and vanilla. Well balanced with lush silken blackberry flavors, layered with lively fresh cherry and berry pie. Hints of chocolate and a sumptuous vanilla oakiness to the finish make this wine a great choice to pair with many of your favorite dishes.

Vineyard

Grown in the sandy clay loam foothills of Monterey County's ninth and newest appellation, the San Antonio Valley, our vines see summer daytime temperatures 10-20 degrees warmer than much of Monterey County, with a cooling nighttime influence, and a little morning fog coming over the Santa Lucia range from the Pacific Ocean, just 15-20 miles away. This gives us a daily heat cycle of 50 degrees, producing the exceptional fruit that is hand harvested for our limited edition award winning wines.
