- WINE NOTES
- The fruit for this wine was sourced from 100+ year-old vines of the historic Contra Costa AVA, where these verdant vines are rooted in well-drained, sandy soils. The grapes weather heat spikes during the day with cooling breezes of the Sacramento Delta & San Francisco Bay soothing them at night. This broad temperature shift allows the fruit an extended ripening period, leading to more balanced wines. This blend of Mourvèdre & Carignan delivers a beautiful brightness of dried cranberry and pomegranate, complimented by savory notes of forest floor & cedar that linger on the smooth, fine finish.
