The plate offers layered flavors of dark cherry, briary blackberry, ripe plum and cassis interlaced with complimentary notes of dried cranberry, red pear, wild sage, cinnamon, clove, and a decadent hint of dark chocolate truffle on the indulgent finish. Richly textured with bright acidity, chewy tannins and firm structure. A true diamond in the rough that becomes luxurious in the glass as it opens up, and will develop even more silkiness when aged to perfection.
Pure mountain flavors and a gem for the price! Ready to drink now, and will age gracefully easily for another 7-10 years.
Extremely limited 70 cases!

Aromas of blackberry, dried fig, black cherry, blackberry coulis, toasted vanilla, and a hint of cigar box. The palate offers rich and velvety tannins, dark chocolate-covered cherries, black plum, mixed berry pie and toasted walnut. Long and expressive with loads of flavor.
New Release
A ferociously fun Napa Valley blend with depth, balance and big flavor. Aromas of red currant, fresh strawberries, black plum, vanilla, and notes of cocoa on the nose. The palate is bursting with fruit ranging from cherries, mixed berry compote, toasted hazelnut and more. This wine has great texture that ultimately finishes with round, silky smooth tannins.

Layers of strawberry, baked cherry pie, anise, cherry lollipop, wild game, and spicebox. On the palate, black cherry jam couples with crème de cassis, mixed berry crisp, rhubarb, and a touch of vanilla.
