Nose

The layers and complexity to the nose of a wine this young is astounding. Blackberry compote, crushed violets and black plum are immediately apparent, complemented by a range of mocha and clove spice.

Palate

The wine is immense on the palate, lush with sweet cassis and cedar as well as some interesting flint minerality.

Growing Conditions

The mountain grapes were sourced from neighboring York Creek Vineyards and the valley floor grapes from the Cyrus Ryan vineyard which borders the St. Helena and Calistoga appellations.
