a new bottling from the winery. the vineyard is in the petaluma gap, a cool area south of the russian river valley, toward san francisco. the vintage was cool, too, so the wine is brisk in acidity and low in alcohol, but it still tastes amazingly ripe and complex. the wine dazzles with waves of black raspberry jam, sweet olive tapenade, sautéed brown mushroom, root beer, moo-shu plum sauce and mocha. if those flavors sound like they don't go together, just try the wine. it's seamless and compelling. drink now–2020.
