Black cherry, cheesecake, warm blackberry, plum and black currant in the nose with french vanilla, clove and cinnamon spices. A hint of new oak with toast, charred wood and dark chocolate. Beautiful, lush dark fruit, black cherry, huckleberry, cooked strawberry, atop a core of bright acidity and rich oak notes. This is wine is pure enjoyment and a pleasure to enjoy on its own, but would also pair well with dishes like foie gras stuffed ravioli, pancetta pasta, seafood risotto, duck, porchetta, roasted black cod, etc., etc. A stunning effort.

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.
