Nose

Rose petal and juicy red fruit jump on the nose.

Palate

Juicy red cherry flavors of Hillcrest and hints of pomegranate and spice from Tanuda once again merge into an incredibly smooth wine. Bright red fruit, baking spice and earth on the palate. The wine finishes with light notes of vanilla.

Growing Conditions

Slow and steady was the name of the game in 2014. Mild and steady heat with dry conditions made for an ideal growing season. Our 2014 wines are beautiful in their youth with bright fruit, great texture and an acidity defined by our Sonoma Coast sites.

Aging
