Terroir:
Jessie's Grove Vineyard, established in the late 19th century, is renowned for its ancient, own-rooted vines.

Nose:
Aromas of crushed red and blue fruits, such as raspberry and blueberry, are complemented by floral notes of rose petal and lavender, with subtle hints of mint adding complexity.

Palate:
Light to medium-bodied, the palate offers a lively acidity that enhances the fresh fruit flavors. The wine's energy and nuance are evident, with well-integrated tannins providing structure without overpowering the delicate fruit profile.

Finish:
A clean, refreshing finish with lingering notes of red berries and a touch of floral elegance, inviting another sip.
