Sourced from Quail Run Vineyards in Southern Oregon, owned by dedicated growers Don and Traute Moore who are known for being Southern Oregon’s most celebrated producer of premium wine grapes.

Featuring a nose of plum, dried raspberry, earth and savory herbs, the palate expands to reveal more bold black fruits, leather and spices like clove and anise. This hearty wine is full-bodied with a rustic tannin structure to match.

Complex, inviting and elegant, the wine opens with alluring aromas of forest floor, fresh herbs and bramble berries. The palate expresses deeper layers of earth, herbs, fruit and spices including marionberry, fig, red clay, baking spice, game and wild mushroom. This wine expands on the palate with juicy acidity that culminates in a lush, velvety texture with smooth subtle textures.

This wine was developed years ago by the late Winemaker Forrest Klaffke, who kept it locked away from Founder Jim Bernau to deter him from sampling tour groups on it from the barrel. The day before his passing, he gave the key to Jim and we have continued to make the wine according to his methods ever since.

Inoculated with wine spirits and brandy, this wine features inviting notes of caramel, toffee and chocolate covered cherries. On the palate, the balance of sweetness and acidity creates a beautifully harmonious sip with flavors of amaretto, dark fruit, cocoa and holiday spice.
