From the winery:

Based on a blend of Alder Springs Grenache & Bedrock Vineyard Mourvedre, this classic blend screams southern Rhone. The Grenache component from the Spirit Rock Block at the highest point of Alder Springs Vineyard brings high-toned fruit wild aromatics and spice for days. The old-vine Mourvedre (planted in 1881) from the Bedrock Vineyard in Sonoma Valley holds down the baseline with exotic flavors of black fruits, white flowers, tree bark and wild honey.

Tasting Note: Exotic aromas of white flowers, blood orange, forest floor, spicy tree bark and tiny red berries. The palate is medium-full and supple with energetic clean berry fruit flavors that define this wine. There is an intriguing wildness centered around an earthy complexity found in only the best Mourvedre wines in the world, which adds a tannic structure to this delicious blend.
