Tasting Notes
The nose on this wine opens with a luscious burst of juicy blackberry. Swirl the glass once or twice, and you will start to uncover darker fruit notes of black currant, bramble berry, accented with subtle notes of oak and toasted vanilla. Take a sip, and the first thing you will notice is a firm acidity that opens quickly into dark black fruit with just a touch of anise and a bare hint of leather. As your first impression fades, you will find deeply structured tannins that fill the palate, underscoring a finish redolent with chocolate, blueberry preserves, and aged cedar.
About the Winery
Amapola Creek Vineyards, a small, artisanal winery focused on Rhône varietals, is located on Moon Mountain above Sonoma Valley. Renowned winemaker and founder Richard Arrowood built a reputation for varietal exploration and quality wines in what was to become the Moon Mountain District, officially established in 2013. Now owned by Brion Wise of B. Wise Vineyards, his neighbor on the mountain, Amapola Creek carries on Richard’s legacy—producing quality wines of balance and foresight, taking advantage of the soils and climate in an area known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and other serious reds since the late 1800s.
