A blend of vineyards were sources of fruit for this, with its Anderson Valley personality coming through clearly. It gets a little more oak influence and shows some more earth tones than the Dach Vineyard bottling, and some green character helps keeps things on the strawberry side in the finish. This will fully resolve with a few more years in the bottle, so don’t fear cellaring for up to ten years.
