Winemaker Notes: 

Aromas of ham, dill and black olives permeate the nose of this wine. The mouth is filled with earthy, savory flavors and a dry finish. This is a medium bodied, savory wine which pairs perfectly with a robust winter stew.

Located 8 miles north of the town of Hopland along the banks of the upper Russian River and sitting at 750 feet of altitude.
