Nestled in the Vaca Range on the eastern side of Howell Mountain at 1,250 feet, this rugged site offers ideal conditions for Petit Verdot. Warm, sunny days ensure full ripening, while cool nights enhance aromatics, deepen color, and preserve acidity to balance its firm tannins. Deep garnet in color, this wine opens with aromas of dark plum and lilac, accented by crushed almonds. Velvety tannins carry concentrated fruit through a long, layered, and polished finish. 165 cases produced
