The 2018 growing season was started quickly in the Santa Clara Valley but then cooled down allowing for a long hang time on the vine. Blackberry jam and leather lead off the aromas followed by sweet tobacco and cherries. Big juicy tannins in the mouth combined with good acidity, anise and cranberry flavors make this a perfect BBQ wine.
Suggested Pairing: Crockpot Lamb Shank
The 2017 growing season was started quickly in the Santa Clara Valley but then cooled down allowing for a long hang time on the vine. Bright red fruit and savory toasted oak along with bacon fat and smooth, silky tannins and a delicious ‘forever’ finish. Drink this wine with some perfectly cooked filet mignon or even your chocolate dessert!
The 2017 growing season started early with a heat wave over Labor Day in the Santa Clara Valley but then leveled out for lots of flavor and hang time This wine has blueberry syrup fruit framed with vanilla, cocoa, black pepper and baking spices. Juicy red fruit and soft tannins frame umami flavors in a long finish. This wine drinks well now and pairs wonderfully with pork loin topped with a cherry compote.
