Don’t let the appellation fool you — this is serious wine. A blend of fruit from Bennett Valley, Russian River Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands and Anderson Valley, it shows a skilled blending hand. Juicy red fruit is tempered with vibrant acidity and lively oak spice, and it finishes long and bright. Sometimes the front label doesn’t tell the whole story. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
