"From 60+-year-old vines planted at an altitude of 1,600 feet. Deep red. Deep, musky aromas of dark fruits, mocha, tobacco and cracked pepper, lifted by sweet spices; this reminded me of Howell Mountain fruit. Sweet, creamy and deep, with a peppery lift but a complete absence of hard edges. Not a fruity style but nuanced and interesting. Finishes quite long, with suave tannins."

California's heritage red, producing bold, brambly, high-alcohol wines of jammy dark fruit and spice, often from old vines.
