Harvested from the rocky, volcanic soils of the Moon Mountain District just north of the town of Sonoma, this garnet-purple colored wine presents enticing aromas of spiced black plum, camphor, and a touch of dried herbs. Concentrated notes of blackcurrant and bramble berries on the palate mingle with white pepper and a touch of wet slate, anchored by fine-grained tannins that round out the elegant finish.
