"The wine is very dark and dense. It is fully aromatic with sweet fruit scents of black cherries and plums, accented by hints of toast, vanilla, black pepper, and cardamom. It is a big mouth-filling wine, rich in the complexities of black raspberry and baking spices. It has delicious intensity and weight in the long, flavorful finish. Built for the ages, this wine has classic Sonoma mixed black flavors. There is nothing else like it in the world." – Joel Peterson, Winemaker
