A captivating expression of elegance and balance, this wine opens with vibrant aromas of wild cherry, hibiscus, and pomegranate, leading into a beautifully layered palate. Bright, perfectly ripe red fruit shines at the core, framed by subtle hints of dried sage and warm clove spice. The mouthfeel is both juicy and refined, offering a seamless integration of fruit and structure. The finish is precise, balanced, and lingering, leaving an impression of purity and finesse. Enjoy now and over the next 5+ years.

Chamisal, the first vineyard planted in the region in 1973, now spans 80 acres across three distinct soil types, benefiting from the nearby Pacific Ocean’s cooling influence. The estate’s calcareous, clay-rich soils and long, temperate growing season create ideal conditions for producing intensely flavored, complex fruit.
