Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The smell of a fresh rain on a dusty road. An earthy tone of mushrooms and wild cherry pie abounds in this spicy dark fruit wine. Sarsaparilla mixed with dark chocolate show through this extractive full bodied “Old World Style Barbera”. A rich, full mouthfeel adds to the rounded complexity and long lingering finish with a dark fruit complexity.
Vineyard Notes
100% 2020 Toy Vineyard from the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County. This vineyard sits high up on a west facing mountain looking out over the great Sacramento Valley far below and on into the coastal mountains of the San Francisco area. Grown on decomposed granitic soils of Sierra series sandy loam, the vineyard basks in the mid-day and afternoon sun.
