A vibrant cranberry hue, this wine features scents of fresh cherry tart and toasted wood, with a caramelized sweetness of vanilla. The nose is undeniably Santa Lucia Highlands - a wet stone minerality and subtle oceanic character evoke fresh breezes off the Pacific, signalling this wine's cool coastal origin. The opening texture of slight graphite awakens every part of the palate. Entry is fresh, yet integrated with mouth-filling creaminess.
