When I tasted the new vintage, I told Dan his winemaking skills have gone to a higher plain. 100% estate fruit. Dan has constructed a pure, beautiful expression of what the Sta. Rita Hills is all about. Touch of earth, mushroom, chalky earth, strawberry. 100% consistency, with a touch of cedar, smoke. Such a beautiful combination of site and winemaking.

Purple. Nose. WOW!! Smoke, cherry, pine resin, loam. Consistent palate, with raspberry purée. Velvet finish. Yum, Dan.
