Story: A true expression of California’s finest, this wine was crafted through a meticulous, traditional production process. The grapes were carefully destemmed and given an extended 18–35 days of skin contact to build deep color and draw out the full character of the fruit. From there, the wine rested in French oak barrels, allowing the blend to gain complexity, soften its tannins, and reveal the refined, elegant style that defines a well-made California wine. The result is a beautifully integrated profile, intense in flavor yet remarkably balanced. This is precision winemaking at its best.
