Winemaker's Note: “When we first envisioned making this wine, more than 5 years ago before the vines were ever planted, we were thinking of a go-to red that hit every note we love in a cool climate red: bramble fruit, balanced acid, approachable tannin. A red that’s both delicious and doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
