Nose
Pure aromas of Queen Anne cherries, berries and floral notes are supported by bright flavors of cherry and blood orange.
Palate
Velvety, fine-grained tannins complement a long finish with subtle lavender and citrus nuances.
Growing Conditions
2011 was a very cool and low-yielding vintage, especially in the very cool climate of Marin County. This wine is sourced from a small vineyard on rolling hills in an area of Marin that has been home to cattle and dairies for the last century. Today, there are small vineyard sites scattered across Marin that are producing very interesting and distinct fruit.
