A tribute to my daughter Bani, this wine embodies the essence of her grace, poise yet exhilarating character, ensuring an unforgettable experience with every sip.
Hailing from one of the grand crus of Santa Barbara, Rancho Ontiveros, this wine opens with a beautiful nose of ripe black cherry, fermented oolong tea, and subtle wafts of rose bush in the morning dew. The mouthfeel complements the warmer vintage with rich texture and smooth fruitiness. It has a respectful amount of structure and grand complexity to support a patient owner but is also delicious now for those who want to enjoy it today.
