A domestic Super Tuscan sourced from Peju’s estate vineyards in Rutherford and Pope Valley, it features rich blackberry fruit with chocolate and cherry tobacco notes adding interest. Supple structure makes this wine quite approachable now, and it promises to gain complexity with five to ten years of cellaring. Decant well in the near term for full enjoyment. Winemaker Sara Fowler is producing a solid portfolio here!
