The grapes for this wine come from the De Luz area west of Interstate 15, and you can bet that they’ll be more vineyards sprouting up in there if this is the kind of wine that can be made from the source. A bold wine that features cherry, leaf and white pepper aromas and flavors, delivered on a firm tannic structure and finishing long and bright. Already well integrated, this has aging potential as well. A Platinum Award-winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
