A blend of two distinct parcels within the Jagged Rock Vineyard. The porous soils of the Black Sage Bench regulate the vines, which produce concentrated fruit with balance and complexity.

A vibrant nose of key lime, lychee, sage brush, and anise seed. Flavours of lemon curd, hazelnut and apricot compote excite the senses. The rich palate is balance by a mouthwatering, mineral finish.

Maturation: 100% French Oak Barrique (61% new); 16 months in oak
