The tannins are firm yet approachable, adding structure and depth to the wine without overwhelming the palate. This extraordinary red is beautifully dry, making it a wonderful pairing for a variety of hearty dishes or simply enjoyed on its own. The Mokelumne River region, known for its warm climate and unique terroir, contributes to the wine’s remarkable complexity and balance.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
