Rhubarb and orange peel, roasted red bell pepper, sun dried tomato, sour cherry and cranberry. Mint chocolate notes, portabella mushrooms, black tea and tobacco leaf. Medium bodied with moderate acidity, cocoa powder, tea, bright cranberry and raspberry. Would be an awesome complement to a green bean and onion casserole or pasta with a vodka tomato sauce and cherry tomatoes. Great also with unagi sashimi and a variety of sushi.

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.
