Founded in 1998 on an historic site in the Santa Cruz Mountains next to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Powerful aromas of red fruit and complex spices, however the palate is light and smooth with flavors of strawberry, pepper spice and mint. Lingering finish, soft tannins ending with a mineral edge. Very nice!
