2016 The Crossing

Variety: 92% grenache, 6% syrah, 2% zinfandel

Appellation: Sonoma County

Sensory Notes: This wine displays gorgeous layers of bright cherry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate that rise from the glass gaining depth and nuance as the wine opens up. The lush red fruit flavors continue on the palate, where they are underscored by a juicy mouthfeel and additioinal flavors of baking spice and vanilla that linger on the long, supple finish.

Vineyard Notes: Combining fruit from Big River Ranch in the Alexander Valley and our Lily Hill Estate in Dry Creek Valley, The Crossing is a beautifully rich and textured red wine that showcases the character and complexity of both sites in a seamless blend. With alluring structure, this exciting Rhone blend combines Old World sophistication with vibrant layers of New World fruit.
