Reviewed March 2023This bold, spicy wine brings potent blackberry and black pepper to the nose and vivid black cherries and grilled plums to the palate. Moderate tannins and a full body make the 50-50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah firm enough to pair with the richest proteins. (JG)

Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% whole-cluster Syrah, both organically farmed. Foot tread and fermented with native yeast. Strikes a perfect balance between the two varieties. Cleanly defined—full of life and energy. The winemaker allows the place and varieties come to us. The nose recalls summertime golden hour in Russian River—the skin of a freshly picked Santa Rosa plum, lavender, sweet sun-dried grasses—filling me with a sentimental longing for summer in wine country. Pure cassis and plum on the palate, with tobacco, sage, and violet—bringing me back to earth in an ephemeral moment of satisfaction. *Gold Medal, 2023 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition*
