this is from a tremendous vineyard site near the top of the appellation, situated from 1,250 to 1,800 feet. it incorporates small additions of zinfandel and carignane into the whole, a picture of soft beguiling violet aromas that are followed by a velvety texture and underlying grip of tannin. rich red fruit and a taste of licorice linger on the intense finish.
