Winemaker Notes

Located in the far northwestern corner of the West Sonoma Coast, our remote estate in Annapolis delivers a wine that is vivid ruby in the glass with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and a hint of anise. The palate is focused with well-integrated layers of blueberry, cranberry, and bergamot. A lifted acidity and silky texture add tension to the lingering finish, followed by hints of damp earth and red clay.

This wine exhibits a dark ruby red in appearance. The wilder elements of the forested site are expressed on the nose, carrying brooding layers of damp earth and bay laurel. Notes of red and black tea edged in bergamot entwine with fragrant hints of dark cherry and blueberry. The palate is complex and alive with a structured tannin showing pure,
bright red fruit—raspberry, cranberry, and pomegranate—moving in waves across a silky finish.
