At elevations ranging from 1,400 to 3,000 feet and located at the base of Mount Konocti, once an active volcano, the Red Hills AVA features rolling hills, red volcanic soils, and a lake effect breeze from Clear Lake, one of North America’s oldest natural lakes. The fruit for this wine was sourced from several growing areas within Lake County which resulted in a multi-layered wine with good balance and a long, lush finish. Aged for 12 months in French and American oak, this wine has a bright garnet color. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry and oaky vanilla lead to flavors of ripe cherry, dark berries and spice.
