A hillside site planted on a ridge overlooking a stretch of flat land, the slopes feature deep, well-draining sandy Goldridge soils, increased sunlight, and cooling breezes that combine to produce grapes of terrific concentration and balance. The approach is a masterclass in restraint – fruit is hand-picked, hand-sorted, and fermented with native yeast, with punch downs done by hand. After gentle extraction, aging took place in 100% French oak barrels of the finest cooperage for 14 months.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;\"\u003eDelicately perfumed on the nose, the bouquet opens with cherries and forest floor layered with sage, anise, and rose hips, underscored by accents of brown sugar and red licorice. On the palate, an expertly balanced wine finds beautiful tension between terroir and red fruit, with a refreshing acidity and deftly weighted texture. Velvety tannins carry the wine towards a youthful, focused finish marked by echoes of red berries, iris, vanilla, and spice.

Grown amidst intense marine influence, stunning groves of ancient towering redwoods, and a wild natural ecosystem, the grapes have been masterfully transformed into an electric wine with incredible depth and elegance.

The finish is long, marked by earthy terroir notes and cherry-tinged acidity that crests with a strong mineral note before settling into a delicate vanilla umami.
