This wine is crafted from family owned vineyards grown in the rich, volcanic soil of Sonoma Mountain. The region's volcanic origins date back 15 million years. Volcanic eruptions created the mountain's rock formations, including the basalt and volcanic ash that enrich the soil and make it perfect for wine cultivation. Sonoma Mountain's higher elevation creates cooler temperatures, which help preserve acidity and freshness in the grapes. This allows for longer ripening periods, resulting in more complex flavor profiles. The mountain’s mix of volcanic, clay, and sandy soils, influence grape development and contribute to the wine’s structure and minerality.

On the nose, we smell aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, with hints of cocoa, vanilla, and subtle spice from oak aging. The palate is rich and velvety, showcasing flavors of dark fruits like blackcurrant and fig, with layers of chocolate, espresso, and a touch of earthiness. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit, oak, and a hint of minerality that reflects the terroir of Sonoma Mountain.

Wisdom pairs well with dishes like grilled lamb, beef stew, or hearty pasta. Decant for 15-20 minutes before enjoying. This wine will drink well through 2028.
