Winemaker Nicholas Keeler has a bit of the mad scientist gene, and it works well here. Spontaneous fermentation of whole berries, with a small percentage of whole clusters, amps up the details and textures of this wine. Just savory enough to complement the wild red berry and juicy cherry fruits, this shows little new barrel impact but that allows the nuanced herbal components to shine. Enjoy now-2026.

Bright ruby-red. Vibrant red and blue fruit and spice qualities on the nose, plus building floral and succulent herb accents. Shows fine definition and spicy cut to the bitter cherry, boysenberry and licorice flavors, which deepen through the midpalate. Dusty tannins frame a long, subtly smoky finish that echoes the spice and cherry notes.
