Tasting notes
From an organic family vineyard on the east side of the Russian River Valley, hand harvested around 3am. 80% Pommard and 20% Swan clones. Medium ruby, opening with wild strawberries, black cherries and candied raspberries, with rose petal, blood orange zest and a whisper of minerality. Silky and refined on the palate, with black tea and gentle baking spice, vibrant acidity and polished tannins. 110 cases.
Pairs with
Salmon, roast chicken, duck breast, earthy mushroom dishes
