Sourced from three of the winery's own vineyards on the slopes of Mount Veeder and from trusted contract farmers. John Giannini was appointed winemaker in 2021. As Thomas Rivers Brown's right-hand man, he has contributed to the creation of perfect 100-point wines for many years. He has begun collaborating with Thomas of Schrader on grape supply and other aspects. Rich and full-bodied with a concentrated fruitiness. Robust yet silky tannins. Characterized by sweet fruit and balanced acidity, and a long finish with nuances of wet stone, forest soil, and Provencal herbs.

It has sweet fruit and balanced acidity, with nuances of leather, wet stone, forest soil and Provencal herbs that linger on a long finish.
