the name comes from the josephine/mariposa complex soils, gravelly loam vineyard underlain with crumbly yellow slate. this is a finely tuned blend of 72% grenache noir and 28% mourvèdre. the aromas are heady in rhubarb compote and wild raspberry with a candied, perfumed character. in taste, it's more bright red fruit with an underlayer of herb and stony minerality. medium in body, the wine delivers substantial length and depth.
