On the nose: Our Dundee Hills single vineyard designate opens with cranberry, red cherry and earth notes. and continues with the addition of strawberry, rose petal, bergamot and baking spices. 

On the palate: Classic, balanced and restrained, the wine offers a medium-weight palate, chewy tannins, and lengthy finish.

Food Pairings: Enjoy with Chinese five-spice duck breast with marionberry purée, braised chicken with morels and polenta, smoked trout with savory pancakes, mushroom risotto and medium cheeses.
