Notes from the Winemaker:
Handcrafted from high-quality vineyards in California’s coastal regions — from Monterey and San Benito in the central coast, to Suisun Valley in the north. The diversity in soil and climate from these AVAs contribute to this wine’s remarkable balance and depth of character. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and then destemmed in order to express bright fruit flavors and maintain freshness.

90 Points, #40 Top 100 Best Buys of 20202 - Wine Enthusiast:
"Beautiful, fresh fruit flavors light up this no-nonsense wine, delivering the varietal's classic red and black cherries, along with light cinnamon nuances and a good, lightly tannic texture. It's easy to quaff and interesting, too." (JG) (12/2021)

90 Points - James Suckling:
"Aromas of fresh herbs, strawberries and hibiscus. Medium-bodied with wet-mineral character. Soft tannins. Straightforward and tasty." (5/2022)
