Elegance. Richness. Depth. Structure. All hallmarks of a great wine, and all present and accounted for in this fabulous bottling from Skip and Maureen Coomber, who started making small lots of wine at the Terravant facility in Buellton back in 2009. Cherry, floral, talc, and faint toffee aromas translate directly to flavors on the palate, all riding a wave of bracing acidity and a moderate grip that is maintained through a long, deeply complex finish. Extremely well made wine that’s appropriate for your finest dinners. A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
