WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Black currants, blackberries, bramble spice, ripened blueberries, holiday baking spices, dark chocolate. Soft tannins and lifted fruit-filled aromatics make this a versatile red wine
TASTING NOTES:
Generous and juicy, with frisky black raspberry and currant flavors accented by roasted sage and savory white pepper. Grenache, Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2030.

The High On The Hog (40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 22% Mourvèdre, 6% Petite Sirah, and the rest Viognier) offers earthy dark fruits, bouquet garni, pepper, and violets notes in a medium to full-bodied, pleasure-bent package. It’s California’s answer to a top-notch Côtes du Rhône.

Juicy aromas of black plum and cocoa meet with scorched earth on the nose of this blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Grenache, 12% Petite Sirah, 10% Syrah and 6% Mourvèdre. There's a sizzle of acidity to the sip, where dark, rustic plum fruit flavors meet with a savory earth tone.
