Download Tech SheetSourced from Block 3 of our Stella Knight Vineyard at the base of the Diamond Mountain District, this wine showcases the distinct qualities of the appellation. The porous soil and steep slope limit water retention, forcing the vines to dig deeper, infusing the grapes with a subtle minerality. With the fruit’s bold concentration and texture, I embrace a higher use of new oak to fully reveal the wine's character. Its complexity and depth make it a standout choice for those seeking a wine with both immediate appeal and age-worthy potential.
