Pale yellow gold color with restrained peach, melon, and honeysuckle aromas. On the palate, it approaches medium-bodied, is well structured and fresh with an alluring creamy texture.

Slightly cloudy coral color with delightful peach skin, citrus, wet stone and spice aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, fresh, refreshing and dry on the front palate with ample white peach, tangerine, with hints or spice and mineral flavors that build with time on the palate. Lingering finish. On the verge of excellence! Made from Grenache Gris, from a restored 100 year old Gibson Ranch vineyard in Mendocino, that is dry farmed & head trained. The grapes were crushed and left on the skins for 7 days, then pressed into neutral barrel for native yeast cool fermentation, then aged in stainless steel. Unfined & unfiltered

Blend of 55% Syrah (Saralee’s Vineyard, Russian River Valley), and 45% Mourvèdre (El Dorado) Aged 10 months in neutral French oak. 13.8% alcohol. SRP - $38. 40 cases produced
