Powerful and brooding, with blackberry and plum cascading through layers of leather and graphite. The mountain fruit shows serious concentration, framed by woodsy herbs and a hint of violet. Formidable tannins need cellaring through 2027.

Big Basin

Big Basin works with cool-climate Santa Cruz Mountains sites and reaches into the Central Coast for old-vine Rhône and Carignan fruit, producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay alongside varieties most California producers overlook.
