Ripe, but not in excess. A strong limestone character that gives it a nice texture. A very fine wine with a dominant red fruit flavor such as redcurrant, pomegranate with a spicy background and extremely fine tannins.
For lack or better description, Burgundy in color. Ether like aromas of cherry, earth, and tea. A brisk acidity and lingering fine finish. Grown amongst the coast and redwoods of Santa Cruz. A sophisticated wine.
