Winemaker Christian Roguenant loves to let the location shine in his creations – in fact he’d say he doesn’t create his best wines at all, instead shepherding what is presented by the vineyards into a wine that speaks with clarity of its origins. Such is the case here, with classic Russian River Valley cola and cherry on the nose and in the mouth, joined by minimalist oak spice and finishing altogether gorgeous. A Santé! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2020 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
