- Domestic: Alexander Valley, Sonoma, California, USA
- The diversity of our collection of crus-estate vineyard blocks that have more clay-rich soils like the right Bank of Bordeaux and some of the best family Grower Parcels on mid-slope, well-drained Sonoma County vineyards
- Aromas of black cherries, pomegranate, dried cranberries and a hint of graphite channel classic Bordeaux. Its lovely, silky texture coats the palate with layers of black cherries and a touch of cedar from French oak's fine tannins
- The classic food pairing would be new York Strip Steak or filet Mignon, but the elegance, uplifting acidity and toasted oak nuance will complement grilled or savory roasted dishes, such as herb-crusted lamb, roasted chicken or grilled pork loin.
- Barrels from six French coopers were selected based on blind tastings and vintage flavor profile; primarily medium toast
