HOME RANCH VINEYARD
Long, warm days aided by the absence of marine influence marks this site. The soils are composed of clay and clay loam with underlying layers of basalt, sandstone and serpentine rock. Vines are challenged by the low nutrient level of the clay and the shallow topsoil, both which force them to produce more concentrated fruit.

Tasting Notes
Notes of shaved dark chocolate,
brambly black fruit, and baked
graham cracker on the nose give
way to a powerful wine with great
intensity and supple tannin. A
muscular mid-palate provides
structure and frames flavors of
ripe blackberries and freshly grated
nutmeg that linger on the palate with
the wine’s long and elegant finish.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair with rich and meaty short ribs or
braised pork belly.
