Tasting notes

A special 10th Anniversary release from a single mountain-top site above the Russian River Valley, hand harvested at sunrise. In Eric Story's words, they pick on the relatively early side to keep the fruit fresh and vibrant, aiming for purity, finesse and drinkability while avoiding rusticity, vegetal character and hard tannins. One hundred cases.

Roast duck, mushroom dishes, goat cheese
