Tasting Notes
Concentrated aromas of bright red cherries, raspberries, and currants are balanced by an essence of dried strawberries and rose petals. Hints of bay laurel, fennel, and cloves are mingled with a complement of turned forest floor and fresh, wild mushrooms. Silky tannins gracefully interact with blood orange flavors and sweet cedar, leading to a vibrant, zesty finish.
Vineyard Notes
Named for its previous owners, the 100-acre Hallberg Vineyard is today owned and managed by wine industry veterans including vineyard manager Kirk Lokka. Nestled in the Green Valley sub appellation, the site enjoys refreshing daytime breezes and cool nighttime temperatures. The strong marine influence means less severe daily temperature shifts so the vines never completely shut down, producing fruit with deep, dark color, great structure, silky tannins, darker fruit flavors and earthy characteristics. This blend is a composition of many of the best blocks on this cool, foggy vineyard site, which include clones 667, 777, 828, Pommard and a mysterious “suitcase” selection.
