Tasting Notes

This distinguished Santa Ynez Valley blend presents a deep garnet hue with ruby highlights in the glass. The nose reveals an enticing bouquet of dark chocolate, boysenberry jam, and ripe plum, complemented by subtle vanilla and spice notes from French oak aging. On the palate, layers of blackberry and dark cherry unfold with remarkable balance, supported by silky tannins and well-integrated acidity that maintains freshness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering notes of cocoa and dark fruit with a hint of toasted oak.
