Wild berry intensity meets pine forest earthiness in compelling Sonoma expression.

Wild strawberry and raspberry burst forward. Pine needles and forest floor add compelling savory edge. Cinnamon spice weaves through mid-palate. Earth undertones ground the fruit beautifully. Floral lift keeps things elegant. Silky texture, firm structure. Finish lingers with berry concentration and mineral tension. Drinking well now, holds another 5-7 years easily.
