The acidity is pronounced, lending a mouthwatering vibrancy that enhances the wine's structure and keeps it lively on the palate. Its tannins are notable and firm, providing a robust backbone that beautifully complements the wine's impressive fruit intensity. This wine is expertly crafted to be dry, ensuring a delightful finish that lingers with each sip, creating an experience that resonates with both enthusiasts and those new to the world of wine.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
