The Durell Vineyard lies in the cool Carneros region, receiving cooling breezes and morning fog from the nearby San Pablo Bay and Pacific Ocean. The wine opens with delicate notes of wild strawberries, dried rose, and sage, followed by savory black tea. On the palate, mouth-filling red currant and cherry flavors overlay a core of dark fruit interwoven with earthy minerality, with a silky texture and a glossy finish.
