For this old vine beauty the carignan come from two historic sites in Mendocino County: the famed 100 year old vines of Elvie’s Black in Venturi Vineyard and Arnold's block from the Poor Ranch, Hopland. Thirty days of maceration extracts reassuring tannins, followed by 24 months collecting itself in barrel & 12 months in bottle to fully integrate. Light as a feather, driftwood, purple petals, haskap berries, high tones of cranberry ice cream drizzled in sour lemon oil & a gentle unctuousness which coats the mouth.
