The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe blackberry, blood orange, pepper, licorice, tobacco leaf, and dried flowers.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and generous, with impressive mouthfeel and a seamless echo of the aromas carried through in layers. The blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignan, and Mourvèdre brings both power and complexity, while the structure suggests excellent aging potential over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit comes from Lytton Springs Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, a site known for producing concentrated, characterful old-vine wines in California’s warm yet balanced Sonoma terroir. All fruit is sustainably farmed and was fully destemmed before fermentation. The wine was then matured in American oak barrels, with 10% new oak and the rest between one and four years old, allowing the wine to develop complexity while preserving its vibrant fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a bold, food-friendly red that pairs beautifully with grilled or slow-cooked meats, barbecue, lamb chops, beef short ribs, and richly spiced dishes.
