The Forchinis are longtime winegrowers in Dry Creek Valley. Their century-old, head-pruned vines, planted on the eastern side of the valley, are dry-farmed and produce wines that are luscious, balanced and intense.
Tasting Notes: Deep garnet with a ruby hue, this wine has a prominent bouquet of ripe raspberry, bing cherry and holiday spice followed by a glimpse of nutmeg . The palate is expansive and energetic and is filled with tart cherry, rhubarb, blueberry and forest floor. Showcasing concentration and elegance with a sweet and tart balance, this wine has medium acidity with supple tannic structure.
