Appellation: Ballard Canyon, Santa Barbara County, California
Producer: Kimsey Vineyard (Winemaker: Matt Dees)
Tasting Notes: Aromas and flavors feature black, red, and blue fruits like wild blueberry and black raspberry, layered with green peppercorn, mulberry, tobacco, dried fig, and violets.
Structure: Full of power and fruit density, framed by succulent acidity, ultra-fine tannins, and a long, persistent blackberry finish.
Critical Acclaim
Vinous (Antonio Galloni): 96 Points — Praised as a super-elegant, graceful wine with a compelling mix of intensity and transparency.
Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points — Described as pure, beautifully balanced, and layered, noting it deserves a few years of bottle age and will age well over a decade.
James Suckling: 95 Points — Noted as energetic and supple with well-integrated tannins and floral peppercorn dust
