It’s crafted with minimal intervention to highlight Sonoma’s cool-climate character and the vibrancy of old-vine fruit. Aged for 15 months, it balances power with elegance.

Food pairing: Grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, mushroom stroganoff, or aged cheddar. Also excellent with pepper-crusted duck breast or lentil stew with herbs.
