The grapes for this wine come from a nine acre vineyard located on the west side of Lodi, no more than a stone’s throw away from the winery. Ready to drink now or could be laid down for a few years. Deeply concentrated dark ruby in colour with tobacco, strawberry jam and cherry aromas standing out.
