Wild cherry and blood orange surge through with remarkable intensity. Cedar, tobacco and dried flowers add layers of complexity, while the whole-cluster treatment brings aromatic lift without masking the wine's inherent mountain power. Heady and expressive.

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.
