"Glimmering in the glass like a polished ruby stone, splashes of red berry fruit linger with cedar and sandalwood. Medium-bodied and electric with energy, bursts of dark fruit, earthy accents, and floral notes are framed by firm, fine grained tannins and a racy backbone that finishes long and tingly. Spicy, complex, sensational. Whole berries 100% destemmed and fermented in a mix of new and used French oak puncheons and open top tanks. Each hillside vineyard site is chosen for the generous slope, unique sequence of Goldridge soils, ranging from 900-1900 feet above sea level, and microclimate to add dimension to the wines. A rare, fine-grained sandy loam, Goldridge soils are known for excellent drainage, and a characteristically light and fluffy texture.
