Cherry hard candy, raspberry jam, torn basil, crimini mushroom and exotic spices on the nose. Very inviting and would call to mind an incredible pairing with Peking Duck à l’orange! Cranberry compote at Thanksgiving, cherry jam with basil and orange rind, cinnamon and tamarind, rhubarb. Delicious and what a gorgeous texture, lush and rich with fresh acidity. Amazing wine and very complex. Not to make the comparison, but it really reminds me of a village Nuits St. George from Burgundy in a classic year. Beautiful!

Our approach to winemaking is simple. We seek natural balance in the vineyard and cellar, to show the true expression of terroir in our wines. We are passionate about organic and biodynamic farming; as we believe it not only creates better wines, but these important practices help keep our earth alive and ecosystem intact.
