Tasting NOTES
Red cherries and dried cranberries spiced with vanilla, balance perfectly with an underlying earthiness out of the glass. On the palate, the silky texture is framed by savory clove, black raspberry, and framed by dusty tannins. Tempting to open now, but also built to age and develop for another 10 years or more.
Vineyard NOTES
Eight miles north of San Pablo Bay, the Bundschu family's 160 year-old vineyard wraps around the southwest slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains. The terrain below 150 feet elevation features gently sloping Huichica clay loam soils with gravel deposits and cooler growing conditions that deliver minerality and focused acidity. Wines grown in these blocks bear the Sonoma Coast designation to reflect their cool climate character. One distinct block of 45-year-old Heritage vines is harvested for this limited bottling.
