This wine is beautifully expressive on the nose with notes of fresh thyme, raspberry bramble, and Amarena cherry. The intensity and lush texture on the palate is balanced by juicy acidity and a long velvety finish.
Enjoy this wine with short ribs browned in the pan and braised with red wine, beef stock and tomatoes. Serve with your best mashed potatoes and a hint of freshly grated horseradish.
The overall cooler temperature, courtesy of marine influenced air that flows up the Petaluma Gap from the south and up the Russian River from the west, creates significant diurnal swings, up to 55°F. This phenomenon prolongs hang time, which allows for a steady accumulation of ripe fruit flavors, aromatic intensity and phenolic (tannin) ripeness.
