The Vineyard: Grassini is an exceptional vineyard located in Santa Barbara, upon small hills and river benches of well drained, super fine clay loam soils and serpentinite. The vineyard is meticulously managed and farmed.
The Wine: Complex kaleidoscopic aromas and flavors. On both nose and palate you’ll encounter peach, honeydew, kiwi fruit, granny smith apple, pineapple and fresh coconut, to stony mineral notes of granite, graphite, and a touch of sea shell, to fresh herbs (thyme, basil) and spices (nutmeg, clove). This is a well-balanced wine that will please many “RED” wine drinkers alike! Extremely limited. Only 250 cases produced.
