Quite spicy, with vibrant black-cherry, blackberry, clove and herb notes, all couched in supple tannins. Long and bright on the finish.

Dark in color, this single-vineyard wine was made from 30-year-old vines. Aromas are deep and plummy, with roasted coffee-bean and caramelized, raisiny notes. Very dry and austere, with high acidity and rich tannins. Try aging this quintessentially Californian wine for a decade.

Earth, peach, butter and smoke aromas lead to rich, fruity, spicy flavors, ripe and full-bodied, of extracted stone fruits. Balanced, with a creamy texture and a fruity, spicy finish.

Bright and fresh, with pretty cherry and plum notes. Finishes moderately with interesting herb essence. A blend of Amador and Lodi fruit.
