WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The grapes were sourced from the esteemed Lodi and Amador regions. Aged for 12 months in two-year-old American oak barrels, this wine reveals concentrated
fruit avors that are both bold and balanced. On the nose, vibrant black currant and juniper berry aromas mingle with layers of new leather and black pepper spice. On the palate, the wine showcases a rich medley of ripe blackberry and dried apricots, enhanced by a juicy acidity that keeps it fresh and lively. There is an earthy complexity with soft, ripe tannins that give way to lingering avors of berry jam and savory herb. The aging in American oak barrels imparts a touch of sweetness, along with a toasted edge that deepens the wine’s character without overwhelming its natural
fruit-forward nature. A perfect pair with a variety of dishes, including wood-red
pizza, pasta with red sauce and absolutely anything off the grill.
