This beauty from Santa Barbara’s Sierra Madre Vineyard delivers a dollop of earthy goodness, with notes of forest floor and damp leaves, bright cherry fruit in the nose and on the palate and a touch of sweet oak spice on the finish. Beautifully balanced and refined. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
