Located on the Sacramento River in the heart of the Delta, the Clarksburg AVA has a profound maritime influence. Cool mornings give way to warm afternoons and temperatures quickly cool again in the evenings. With land at or below sea level, the fertile soil attracts and holds nutrients and water which calls for constant monitoring.
Sixteen months of aging in neutral French & American Oak barrels combined with a balanced acidity has made our newest vintage a must have for the season. This wine opens with vibrant aromas that remind one of walking through an orchard, and develops soft, tropical notes of pineapple and banana peel as it sits. On the palate, these fruits meld and are laced with beats of caramel and vanilla that come and go with each sip. The fresh acidity and silky-smooth presence of tannin creates an elegant mouthfeel that stays with you through the finish.
