About the Wine

The grapes for this wine come exclusively from the Dierberg Vineyard located near the northeastern edge of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. From this hillside vineyard, we’ve observed that both the cluster and berry size are quite small due to the challenging growing environment and low-fertility soils. The result is a wine of unique character with a true sense of place, the Santa Rita Hills. This library release is perfect for those who appreciate the character and complexity of mature wine. You’ll notice that the wine’s primary flavors have become less dominant with aging, creating entirely new aromas and flavors to enjoy.
