While our barrel-fermented style is a departure from classic Roero-grown, Italian made Arneis, there are plenty of varietal hallmarks grown into this fruit. Amateurs and ardent admirers of Arneis alike will note aromas and flavors of nutmeg, honeycomb, ripe pear, toasted almonds, and nutmeg. The creamy soft texture can be attributed to our sur lie style barrel aging.

Aromas of wild fruits such as cherry and fresh strawberry are backed by hints of nutmeg and violet. Fresh, bright, and tart, Cinsault’s refreshing acidity lingers on the palate and lends itself to (lightly chilled) to summer sunsets on the back porch.

Deeply scented aromas of wild mountain huckleberries and chocolate are framed with meaty nuances and hints of eucalyptus. Gushing flavors of blueberry, boysenberry, and huckleberry dominate with hints of char and sweet spice, while the silky soft entry and bright mid-palate balloon to a weighty full finish.
