The Sydney vineyard, situated in the northwestern mountains of Dry Creek Valley, is named after the Ken & Diane's eldest daughter. Wines from this region are expressive, full-bodied, and built to withstand the test of time.
Critical Acclaim: Wine & Spirits Magazine | Purple-plum generosity and the muskiness of blackcurrants fill this wine as its oak recedes. It rested for 20 months in French and American oak barrels (30 percent new) and that is the immediate impression it gives, along with substantial alcohol in a mineral spirits edge. Those elements integrate with time in the glass, as they will with four or five years of cellar time. It’s built to age. —J.G. (345 cases)
Tasting Notes: Deep, dark, and rich, with aromas of dark fruit and an earthy undertone. The palate expresses dark plum, blueberry, black cherry, and umami, along with hints of toasted oak, vanilla, and baking spices.
