Another deftly handled wine from winemaker Molly Bohlman, where the rhubarb driven profile is joined by easy fall spice, black cherry, sassafras and light stemmy character that together make a great food friendly wine that leans toward the pork tenderloin side of the menu. This can handle a nice herb and spice crust on the meat. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
