California’s Central Valley is not the first place I think of when it comes to Rhône styled blends, but this wine shows that the locale is suited to the fruit. Made in a bone dry, spice driven style, it delivers peach, pepper and stone aromas and flavors, with a rich texture and a bright acidic bump in the finish. Seafood all the way with this one! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
