raspberry and cinnamon spice hit the nose first followed by crushed cloves on this supremely balanced wine by gavin chanin from a vineyard that's northwest of the sta. rita hills. dried cranberry fruit leads the palate, but it's mostly powered by a potpourri of brown spices, from peppercorns to nutmeg. it's a study of restrained ripeness that's fresh and tasty.
