Winemaking Notes
Deep garnet in color, this wine is aromatic with raspberry and spice. Its mouth watering palate offers black and red berry flavors with a hint of cocoa, that harmonize with supple tannins over a long finish.

Vineyard Notes
Justi Creek Vineyard, our original estate property located at our winery in Glen Ellen, was an enclave for the earliest French winemakers in California in the 1890's. It has been painstakingly restored and reimagined with great attention to detail, and is the site of our small, eco-friendly winery.
The vineyards diversity of terroir is a great asset. Bordeaux varieties thrive in the cobbled soils of the Upper Bench and Heritage Rhône clones are planted alongside our Old Vine Zinfandel block at the highest point in the vineyard.
