Wine Details
The wine is a beauty, emerging with an enticing nose of rich raspberry, high-toned violet, and white flower elements. Juicy, fresh, and quite seductive aromatically, it's equally enticing on the palate, with raspberry pie and purple floral notes overlaying a juicy texture with a long and sinuous finish. With time in the glass, a provocative anise seed emerges in the nose, making it all the more compelling.

The vineyard is at the extreme western edge of the Dry Creek appellation, nestled into the hills there at the edge of a valley that has more direct egress/drainage to the ocean than the rest of the valley…sort of a “Petaluma Gap,” if you will, except 30 miles to the North. It happens to be quite a nice microclimate for growing Pinot Noir. Usually, the source winery (that charges $40/bottle) wouldn't part with this, but it was in transition, having recently changed hands.
