Sourced from a handful of vineyards in San Benito and Monterey Counties mostly on rocky granite soils. A Châteauneuf-du-Pape inspired blend of 56% Grenache, 29% Syrah, and 15% Mourvedre. Fermented and rested in mostly concrete tank, some neutral oak - barrels and Puncheons. Bottled unfined, unfiltered.
The nose begins with wet river rock and California chaparral combined with cherries and plum skin leading the way toward a meaty, teriyaki, black olive reminiscence. Composed on the palate, notes of white pepper and dried herbs-bay laurel and thyme provide a complex compliment to the fruit of the nose. A distinct umami soy/hoisin silkiness finishes with an understated balance and subtle minerality.
